/FC is a peer-reviewed publication now in its 40^th year of continuous 
publication, making it the third oldest academic film journal in the 
United States.  Our aim is to bring together work in the field of film 
and media studies that foregrounds textual criticism as a primary value. 
Our readership is generally academic, but we strive to publish material 
that is accessible to a broader popular audience.

While our title suggests a focus on film, we are equally interested in 
articles that engage moving-image media of all forms, such as television 
or online video. FC is also committed to developing criticism that 
derives from a cultural studies tradition -- that is, criticism that 
situates media texts in a political context and recognizes the role 
culture plays in reproducing and maintaining social and power relations.
