The /JICMS/ is an English-language forum for theoretical, methodological 
and critical debate on Italian film and media production, reception and 
consumption. It provides a platform for dialogue between academics, 
filmmakers, cinema and media professionals. This peer-reviewed journal 
invites submissions of scholarly articles relating to the artistic 
features, cultural themes, international influence and history of 
Italian film and media. Furthermore, the journal intends to revive a 
critical discussion on the /auteurs/, revisit the historiography of 
Italian cinema and celebrate the dynamic role played by new directors. 
The journal includes a book and film review section as well as notes on 
Italian film festivals abroad and international conference reports.

We invite proposals for single papers, pre-constituted panels and 
roundtables that identify intersections and artistic interconnections 
shaping contemporary Italian cinema and media productions in a global world.
