About Alphaville

Alphaville is a fully peer-reviewed online journal edited and published by the Department of Film and Screen Media at University College Cork, Ireland.

Alphaville offers a dynamic international forum open to the discussion of all aspects of film and screen media history, theory and criticism through multiple research methodologies and perspectives. It cultivates inspiring, cutting-edge research, and seeks work that displays a clear engagement with current debates and with methodological issues.

The journal is designed in a way to make a full contribution to international debates in film and screen studies and beyond, and considers articles, book reviews and festival, exhibition and conference reports. We are interested in the interfaces between cinema and all new media, and aim to utilise the online platform to its full capacity.

Alphaville is published twice a year, in Summer and Winter. It currently only accepts submissions in response to specific calls for papers that are advertised via the journal website and subject lists. There is no charge for authors to submit work to or publish in Alphaville.
