We have wonderful news from Jump Cut. Check out our

Classics from the past ­ essays from earlier issues now online

Index of online essays

http://www.ejumpcut.org/archive/onlinessays/index.html

We are putting all the back issues of Jump Cut online online as fast as we
can. We hope new readers will discover these classic essays. And we hope
that they will be useful for readers who followed Jump Cut from the start
and whose old issues have yellowed with age. This contribution to film
studies lets teachers can have easy access to a collection of thoughtful
critical essays for their classes. It is also our contribution to left,
feminist, and gay/lesbian cultural criticism for lovers of cinema
throughout the world. We began Jump Cut in 1974 and hope to bring all
thirty years of film criticism to you online in about a year.

  Right now we have numbers 1-15 online, comprising over 260 essays. It is
too much to read all at once but we hope you will dip into this archive
over and over to read about favorite films and TV shows and also to see how
the field of film criticism has developed over the last quarter century. In
retrospect, it is clear that Jump Cut has taken the lead in many of the
most important areas of film and television criticism, especially in terms
of the journal's social orientation.

  If you read some of these essays and find them useful, we would like to
ask a favor. We need help at this point with proofreading. The process of
transferring essays online involves scanning the text into a "picture-like"
image, then turning that image into text through a optical character
recognition (OCR) software program, then proofing the text in Word, and
then putting the text into the program used to construct the web site,
Dreamweaver. The OCR process is quite imprecise and a few typographical
errors may remain in these essays. If you find any, please contact us and
let us know. The editor in charge of layout is Julia Lesage,

Please forgive us if you get more than one message like this.  Tell all
your friends the good news, especially someone who may have written for us
over the past thirty years.  We are in touch with all too few of our past
writers.

In the struggle, Julia
