issue of the Journal of Italian Cinema & Media Studies (JICMS) (ISSN

and media as sites of crossing, allowing critical discussion of the work 
of filmmakers, artists in the film industry and media professionals. The 
journal revives a critical discussion on the auteurs, celebrates new 
directors and accented cinema, and examines Italy as a geo-cultural 
locus of contemporary debate on translocal cinema. The journal also 
welcomes contributions on the hybridisation of film and media 
aesthetics, and the development of innovative transmedia texts and 
crossmedia narratives.
