Aims & Scope:

Film Internationalcovers film culture as part of the broader culture, 
history and economy of society. We address topics of contemporary 
relevance from historically-informed perspectives. We wish to bridge the 
gap between the academy and the outside world, and encourage the 
participation of scholars from a variety of disciplines. We refuse the 
facile dichotomies of 'high' and 'low', Hollywood and independent, art 
and commercial cinema. We discuss Hollywood films seriously, and 'art' 
movies critically. We aim at becoming a truly international journal, 
recognising local specificities, but also the ultimate 
interconnectedness of an increasingly globalised world.

Current status:

The journal is published four times a year, and we are looking for a new 
editorial team to take over from Volume 22, Issue 1 (2024). We are open 
to discussions around frequency.

Editors:

We are open to expressions of interest from dedicated individuals, or 
teams of co-editors. We are looking to put together a team of at least 
three co-editors to lead the journal. Film Internationalis not currently 
peer-reviewed, however we are keen to relaunch it as a peer-reviewed 
journal, so the new team would need to be able to adapt to this process.

The role:

Editors are key to driving the vision and scope of the Journal. We are 
looking for individuals or co-editors who can renew and take forward the 
ideals and commitments of the Journal. As Editor(s) you will be expected to:

·Provide overall vision and leadership of the journal.

·Evaluate all manuscripts that are submitted to the journal.

·Select articles that are suitable for the journal for peer review.

·Encourage usage and subscriptions to the journal.

·Consider peer reviewers’ advice to make a final decision about what 
gets published.

·Work with the Editorial Board to identify new writers or develop ideas 
for Special Issues.

Editorial Board:

We are looking to expand and welcome new members to the Editorial Board. 
As a board member you will be expected to:

·Review submitted manuscripts.

·Advise on journal policy and scope.

·Identify topics for special issues

·Attract new authors and submissions.

·Promote the journal to their colleagues and peers.

·Encourage usage of the journal.

·Assist the editor(s) in decision making over issues such as plagiarism 
claims and submissions where reviewers can’t agree on a decision.

EOI process:

For questions or enquiries please write to Intellect’s Journals Manager, 
Amy Rollason ((amy.r /at/ intellectbooks.com) <mailto:(amy.r /at/ intellectbooks.com)>)

If you are interested in joining the Editorial Board, or being 
considered for the position of Editor, please provide a cover email 
outlining your specific interests and reasons for wanting to join the 
Film International team. Please also attach a CV.

Deadline: 29 July 2024
