Filmicon: Journal of Greek Film Studies is a bilingual (English and Greek), peer-reviewed,
open-access, online journal edited primarily by independent scholars and
published by ‘Eurasia Publications’, Athens.
It aims:
- To provide a forum for exploring the diverse aspects of Greek film,
television and audiovisual culture from a wide range of approaches and
methodological standpoints.
- To situate the Greek experience in broader international and
transnational contexts with particular emphasis on diasporic, European,
Mediterranean and Balkan perspectives.
- To encourage intertextual, cross-cultural and interdisciplinary readings.
The emphasis on the Greek case does not mean that Filmicon is not concerned
with other national cinemas or issues related to Film and Media Studies that
move beyond national frames. So Filmicon is keen to publish material dealing with
theory, history, criticism and aesthetics of film, television and media in general.
