New Monthly Compilation of Film & TV Publications

It’s difficult enough keeping up with moving image research in dedicated journals such as the Historical Journal of Film, Radio & Television but what about all those interesting ones that slip through the net because they’re the odd film one in a history or social science publication? Simon Baker of the Institute of Historical Research has put together a monthly compilation of articles (and books) which makes for fascinating reading. BUFVC will post them as a downloadable pdf every month together with my (Linda Kaye) personal highlights, so I’m flagging the non-fiction/news/experimental film bias up at the beginning!
