Call for papers - 2014

For the 2014 edition we invite manuscripts that engage critically with 
specific screen media phenomena emerging from the Baltic Sea region. The 
articles could focus on specific media texts (films, video games  etc.) 
in terms of their poetics or representations, but we also welcome 
critical inquiries into the operations of regional audiovisual 
industries, into relevant policies as well as into aspects of reception 
and audience behavior. We are especially interested in articles on the 
connections between various countries and cultures of the region, as 
well as between various screen media forms. To be considered for 
inclusion in 2014 issue the manuscripts of full articles (4000-8000 
words) need to be submitted by March 31st 2014. The same applies for 
book reviews (that discuss publications on topics that are close to the 
theme of the journal). Manuscripts submitted later will be considered 
for publication in 2015.
Scope

Baltic Screen Media Review is a new peer-reviewed journal that was 
launched by Tallinn University Baltic Film and Media School in 2013. Its 
core mission is to publish original and critical research articles on a 
variety of screen media forms and phenomena that are either produced in 
or represent the cultures and realities of the Baltic region. Therein we 
define the Baltic region flexibly – it may not only refer to the three 
Baltic countries (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania), but include all the 
countries and cultures around the Baltic Sea. Our specific interest is 
to discuss and critically analyze the interconnections and exchanges 
between the countries of the region and their audiovisual cultures. The 
term ‘screen media’ indicates that the journal’s focus is ‘convergent’ – 
we aim to publish articles on film, television, interactive media, video 
art, video games, mobile augmented reality, etc. Manuscripts 
scrutinizing the co-evolution of these various screen media forms will 
be given a priority.

The journal is published once a year - both in print and online (turns 
open access six months after publication). It is edited by Dr. Indrek 
Ibrus (Tallinn University) and Dr. Eva Näripea (Estonian Academy of 
Arts/Estonian Literary Museum).
