Running as a pilot in 2010-11, this new module is designed around a student-run editorial process that identifies, edits and develops work from other research- and contemporary cinema-based undergraduate modules in order for the best of that work to be published in a yearly edited collection and on a dedicated website. Students will also write editorials identifying key trends and issues in contemporary cinema, with a focus on the intersection of national and transnational trends. This module will be of interest to students who might be considering a career in academia, publishing, film journalism and so on. Numbers are capped at twelve and students considering taking this module must have confidence in their writing abilities, a strong 2:1 average, and will be askd to attend a short interview. It is also advised that they take either FLM308 Contemporary Hollywood Cinema or FLM302 Reading German Film 3: Contemporary German Cinema.
