The aim of this collaborative website is to promote an online dialogue amongst scholars and the public about contemporary approaches to studying media. Every day the site posts a new article in the form of a short clip (between 30 seconds and three minutes), accompanied by a 300 to 350 word piece contextualising or commenting on the clip, with the aim of promoting discussion in the media studies community and bridging the gap between between academic and non-academic communities.
The site’s content is extremely diverse and reflects the collaborative ethos. Users are encouraged to submit their own responses to other contributors’ posts, thus generating the kind of critical engagement and debate that contributes to a better understanding of how a mediated society functions. Recent posts have covered the promotion of Joss Whedon’s film version of Much Ado About Nothing and Twitter and data collection, as well as the significance of celebrity chefs, zombies in popular culture and Gender and Labour in Recession Era Media and Media Studies.

This streaming site offers a wide selection of films curated by a team of experts, with a particular emphasis on world cinema, lost classics and important but difficult to find films. The films themselves are not currently available in the United Kingdom due to licensing restrictions, but its online film journal Keyframe contains an interesting selection of content, presenting a mixture of articles, interviews, reviews, festival information and video essays on aspects of film history and theory. Two examples from the video essay selection give a sense of the site’s ambitions to provide contextual material to go with the films: a look the 1965 film Four in the Morning, featuring a young Judi Dench, and an analysis of how Carl Th. Dreyer’s created a cinematic uncanny in his 1932 film ‘Vampyr’.
