Call for Papers

Directory of World Cinema: American Hollywood

Edited by Lincoln Geraghty, University of Portsmouth, UK

I have been commissioned by Intellect to edit the American Hollywood volume
of their new Directory of World Cinema and I am in the process of assigning
contributions. The Directory will be published in both print and online
formats, with the edited print volume for American Hollywood to be published
in 2011 and biannually from then on. The online repository for the Directory
is seeking contributors for film reviews throughout the year and will be
available free to all. For more information on this go to:
http://www.worldcinemadirectory.org/

The American Hollywood volume consists of 12 genre categories containing 8
film reviews, each genre is explored through an introductory essay which
will also be written by contributors. The volume has space for critical
discussions of key Hollywood directors and there are also chapters devoted
to exploring the important areas of Hollywood film history, industry,
stardom and audiences.
