[Commlist] CFP: Contemporary Development of American Film

/Arts/: “Contemporary Development of American Film”
“With this Issue, we wish to capture and construct a mosaic of the 
transformations that have occurred in U.S. filmmaking and critical 
practice over the past two decades. These transformations variously 
relate to changes in production and distribution technology, processes 
of globalization and migration, labor organizing, the impact of 
streaming services, social and cultural diversity in and outside of 
Hollywood, intermedial dynamics (film, television, and new media), the 
role of film in collective memory, and exhibition practices. Therefore, 
we are seeking contributions on any of the following topics:  film labor 
(especially in the wake of AI), new production studies, 
race/gender/class/sexuality, new independent cinema, exhibition 
practices, streaming and narrative form, queer/trans representation, 
biopics and adaptations, marginalized filmmakers, and reimagining social 
justice.  Possible topics include the following: (1) biopics and 
adaptations; (2) documentary; (3) race/gender/class/sexuality; (4) new 
independent cinema; (5) streaming and narrative form; (6) exhibition 
practices; (7) production studies; (8) marginalized filmmakers; (9) 
queer/trans representation; (10) reimagining social justice; (11) film 
labor.”
“We request that, prior to submitting a manuscript, interested authors 
initially submit a proposed title and an abstract of 200–400 words 
summarizing their intended contribution. Please send this to the Guest 
Editors ((cbenamou /at/ uci.edu)) or to the Arts Editorial Office 
((arts /at/ mdpi.com)). Abstracts will be reviewed by the Guest Editors for the 
purposes of ensuring the proper fit of the proposed manuscript within 
the scope of this Special Issue. Full manuscripts will undergo 
double-blind peer review.”
We are accepting abstracts until January 31st, with a manuscript 
submission deadline of August 1st, 2026. Open access funding options may 
be available.
