CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

Millennium Film Journal No. 56 Fall 2012 – "Materialism in a Digital Age"

The MFJ is soliciting articles, manifestoes, proposals, reviews, critiques
or other writings on the
revived interest in the materials and material bases of cinema, which
includes all technologies of the moving image.

With the imminent demise of Kodak, the film industry’s embrace of the
digital, and the closing of
film labs, the photochemical medium seems to be in a period of rapid
decline. But even in the
face of this decline, artists around the world continue to use
photochemical media with
enthusiasm and commitment, while others seek out ways to ground materialist
concepts and
practices in bits and bytes.

We invite artists, critics, theorists, historians and technicians to
contribute texts addressing the
many aspects of these phenomena.

The Millennium Film Journal is a print journal dedicated to artists’
cinema, where the term “cinema” includes
photochemical, electromagnetic, digital formats, and other formats. We are
in our 34th year of publication.
