*_ABOUT FILM-PHILOSOPHY_:*
The Film-Philosophy//conference has been taking place since 2008.  The 
conference and its related journal, 
/Film-Philosophy/ (https://www.euppublishing.com/loi/film 
<https://www.euppublishing.com/loi/film>), are dedicated to the 
engagement between film studies and philosophy, exploring the ways in 
which films develop and contribute to philosophical discussion. The 
journal and conference provide a forum for the thoughtful re-evaluation 
of key aspects of both film studies and philosophy as academic 
disciplines. The language of both the conference and the journal are 
English.
