Film Studies For Free: Introducing REFRAME: Open-Access and Multimedia Publishing in Media, Film and Music Studies

abernard102@gmail.com 2012-10-03

Summary:

"Film Studies For Free's author has a little Open Access publishing sideline going on these days - one of the reasons why it's possibly got a bit quieter at this blog. She's the editor of REFRAME, a new academic digital platform for the online practice, publication and curation of internationally produced research and scholarship. While Film Studies For Free will definitely carry on doing what it's doing for the foreseeable future, the new project should also be of interest to many FSFF readers.  REFRAME's subject specialisms—media, film and music— are also those of its publisher, the School of Media, Film and Music (MFM) at the University of Sussex, UK. REFRAME is managed by an editorial board composed of MFM faculty, graduate researchers, and other University of Sussex associates, and it is supported by an international advisory board.  It aims to offer a range of scholarly and related creative and critical content – from relatively ephemeral or responsive forms of research output (project blogs, online film and video festivals, conferences and symposia, and audio and video podcasts) through to fully peer-reviewed online serials and monographic publications, and digital archives and assemblages.  REFRAME channels its content through a dynamic portal website that links to and publicises its multiple components. It is also active across a range of social media. Its open access ethos is underpinned by a commitment to interacting with its audiences wherever possible.   It is hoped that REFRAME will go on to provide an innovative, engaging and productive environment for audiovisual, audio and visual, and written digital humanities or ‘Digital-First’ research, scholarship and publishing in media, film and music, including the production, curation and online archiving of experimental work and research by practice. Please contact REFRAME if you would like to suggest a research or publishing project for its consideration, publicise a related online initiative or website, or offer any feedback.  REFRAME launched in Autumn 2012 with the below projects." FSFF hopes that you will enjoy them, and maybe even contribute to them, or to other REFRAME publications in the future!
