About Alphaville

Film Studies at University College Cork is a vibrant community of staff, graduate and postdoctoral researchers working on a broad range of topics in film and new media. This active research environment has produced Alphaville, which offers a dynamic international forum open to the discussion of all aspects of film history, theory and criticism through multiple research methodologies and perspectives. Alphaville aims to cultivate inspiring, cutting-edge research, and particularly welcomes work produced by early career researchers in Film and Screen Media. We seek work that engages with current debates and we especially invite contributions that display a clear engagement with methodological issues.

The journal is open access to fully contribute to international debates in film and screen studies and beyond, and welcomes essays, festival and conference reports and book reviews, as well as print, audio and filmed interviews. We aim to utilise the online platform to its full capacity, and are interested in the interfaces between cinema and all new media.

Alphaville is the first fully peer-reviewed online film journal in Ireland. It is edited by staff and PhD students in Film Studies at University College Cork. It will be published twice a year, in Summer and Winter, with both open and themed issues that will aim to provoke debate in the most topical issues in film and screen studies.
