Short Film Studiesis a peer-reviewed journal published twice a year. In the context of the importance and increasing visibility of short films, the journal aims to offer timely reflections on and a centering of the form. Toward that end, the journal publishes research based and analytical work that enables a broad appreciation of short films and media and especially welcomes contributions that consider short films and media and/or selected titles as shorts specifically. Essays may focus on historical or contemporary narrative – both fiction and nonfiction – as well as live-action and/or animated titles. Papers that address thematic issues and/or close readings of single titles are welcome. A focus on shorts with running times of 40-minutes or less is preferred.

In addition to the Open Call(see below), papers for 14.2 and manuscripts are invited that focus on the issue's featured auteur, the legendary and acclaimed Jenni Olson. A force in queer independent cinema as a filmmaker, historian, curator and archivist, Olson’s shorts include 575 Castro St. (2009); the parody Levi’s 501s Commercial (1991); and Blue Diary (1998). Several are available at https://vimeo.com/jenniolsonsf <https://vimeo.com/jenniolsonsf>.

Papers that address the issue’s featured theme, LGBTQ+ shorts and filmmakers, also are welcome.
