Journal of Science and Technology of the Arts (SCOPUS-indexed)
Open Call for audiovisual essay submissions (always open) [No payment 
from the authors will be required.]
WEBSITE > https://revistas.ucp.pt/index.php/jsta/callforpapers

JSTA aims to create a conceptual discussion around the audiovisual 
essay, not only as a creative process but also as a pedagogical and 
academic tool, to generate concepts and criteria for evaluation and 
scientific consideration.

Therefore, JSTA is open to submissions of original audiovisual essays 
made with films, excerpts and other moving images. Works can have up to 
15 minutes and should provide original insights in areas such as film 
and audiovisual studies; media studies; contemporary art; social 
sciences. Works submitted should not have been proposed to any other 
academic publication, despite the possibility of dissemination in other 
circuits. The call will not be restricted to academic practitioners but 
the process of evaluation will follow its procedures.

Each audiovisual essay should be accompanied by a research statement by 
the author (up to 1500 words), articulating research aims and the 
process of work. Each work will be submitted to an open peer-review 
process, in which audiovisual essay and author’s statement will be 
published alongside the reviewers’ critical evaluations of the work. 
After the submission acceptance, the author will be asked to provide a 
printable version of the audiovisual essay (selecting around 20 frames 
of the original work).

Submissions should have:
- a video file (MP4, with H264 codec), no longer than 15 minutes and 
with less than 500 Mb,
- a word document with the research statement (up to 1500 words).

Possible working topics:
-The use of sound in mise-en-scène;
-Cinema and technology;
-Poetics of time and space;
-Movement, ambience and colour;
-Editing based film criticism;
-The history of cinema and its rhymes;
