[ecrea] Journal of Screenwriting - first issue now available

> ?One constant truth emerges ? that the
> evolution of a whole and consistent film
> demands a rare, almost miraculous fusion
> of many and various creative elements.?
> ? Lindsay Anderson, Director
>
> Published by Intellect, the Journal of 
> Screenwriting is a peer-reviewed journal for 
> screenwriters, scholars and film fans alike.
>
> This inaugural issue establishes the journal?s 
> broad scope and rigorous approach, bridging the 
> gap between academic theory and screenwriting 
> practice. The auteur theory is challenged in 
> articles that examine some of the most 
> successful writer-director collaborations in 
> film history, and we ask why ?the greatest 
> Italian screenwriter? Tonino Guerra remains only a ?footnote?.
>
> Contemporary issues facing those working in the 
> screenwriting industry are also addressed, 
> ranging from the practical (the effectiveness of 
> the Screen Idea Work Group) to the theoretical 
> (the relevance of Aristotle?s Poetics to the 
> screenwriter). There is a historical analysis of 
> the Danish screenwriting industry, and an 
> examination of the trend in US independent film 
> to dispense with the screenplay altogether. The 
> Research Resources section discusses some 
> highlights among the unpublished scripts in the 
> BFI?s Special Collection, and finally the best 
> new books on screenwriting are reviewed.
