Bright Lights Film Journal is “a popular-academic hybrid of movie analysis, history, and commentary, looking at classic and commercial, independent, exploitation, and international film from a wide range of vantage points from the aesthetic to the political.” This is the venue I think I am going to look further into. They are interested in reviews of movies, studies of directors and other key production figures. A plus side that I found was that most of their material comes from students and professors. Their style is idiosyncratic. They want their ideas available to a wide audience instead of, in Bright Lights Film Journals words, “bone-dry scholarly analysis.” B.L.F.J. exists only as a web page. Ideal lengths range between 600-1800 words. However, for more ambitious think pieces 2000-3000 words is good. No length is looked down upon though, as long as the subject deserves it. “We have no set taboos and prefer passionate, opinionated, even ranting pieces that are intelligently and engagingly written.”

ReplyDeleteEvangelos i think that this topic is really cool!i think that there is a high interest rate in movies and it would be really interesting to find out more in depth things then just watching a movie and not actually knowing the history behind it.
