[Commlist] Frames Cinema Journal Issue 22 - (Re)Locations: Transformations of Place in Film published

Fri Oct 03 09:33:17 GMT 2025





We are delighted to announce that the latest issue of /Frames Cinema Journal/, *(Re)Locations: Transformations of Place in Film*, has been published. You can access and read the issue here: https://framescinemajournal.com/

The issue focuses on the dynamic interplay between film and its representations of space, place, and location, asking how cinema transforms our engagements with these concepts. Traversing a broad range of critical contexts, questions, and perspectives, our contributions cover topics from the spatial logics of exclusivity in the tourist romance to archival footage of urban Berlin in 1940s German cinema; from the spatial structures and motifs in Abbas Kiarostami's work to Google Map explorations of the locations in /Blow-Up/.
