Aims & Scope

/Film Matters/ is an exciting film magazine, celebrating the work of 
undergraduate film scholars. It is published four times a year, by 
students and for students, and each issue contains feature articles, as 
well as a healthy reviews section. In addition, with an undergraduate 
audience in mind, /Film Matters/ will include occasional 
service-oriented pieces, such as profiles of film studies departments, 
articles that engage the undergraduate film studies community and 
prepare students for graduate study in this field, and resources and 
opportunities that undergraduate scholars can pursue. In an effort to 
give undergraduate scholars real-world, applied learning experiences, 
all Film Matters feature submissions will undergo a peer review process.
