Aims and Scope
Transnational Cinemas is a new international refereed journal that has emerged in response to a shift in global film cultures and how we understand them. Dynamic new industrial and textual practices are being established throughout the world and the academic community is responding. Our journal aims to break down traditional geographical divisions and welcomes submissions that reflect the changing nature of global filmmaking.

Transnational Cinemas covers a vast and diverse range of film related subjects. It provides a new and exciting forum for disseminating research. The editors are seeking articles, interviews, visual essays, reports on film festivals and conferences.

Possible research topics include (but are not limited to):
*Modes of production, distribution and exhibition
* Co-productions and collaborative networks
* New technologies and changing patterns of consumption
* Transnational film theories
* Migration, journeying and other forms of border-crossing
* Exilic and diasporic filmmaking
* Questions of authorship and stardom
* Cross-fertilisation and cultural exchange
* Indigenous cinema and video and the cinemas of ethnic minorities
* Cultural policy
* The ethics of transnationalism
* Historical transnational practices
* Interrelationships between the local, national and the global
* Transnational and postcolonial politics
Articles should be between 6,000 and 8,000 words in length and should be written in English, with all quotations translated, and follow the Harvard referencing system.
