The Journal of Film and Video features scholarship on film, video, and media production, history, and aesthetics as well as research on education in these fields and the role of fiction and documentary work in society. The journal is grounded in humanities research traditions that examine cultural, historical, material, and aesthetic dimensions in ways that differ from many journals in communication studies or specialty journals, such as those in cognitive studies. Yet it accepts articles that use a range of critical methods if they shed light on the production and study of film, video, and media.
