Call for Papers *Short Film Studies* Journal, Issue 12.2:
*Short Film Studies* is a peer-reviewed journal published twice a year. The
journal publishes research based and analytical work that enables a broad
appreciation of short films and media, and especially welcomes
contributions that consider short films and media and/or selected titles as
shorts specifically. Essays may focus on narrative—fiction and
nonfiction—as well as live-action and/or animated titles. Papers that
address thematic issues and/or close readings of single titles also are
welcome. A focus on shorts with running times of 40-minutes or less is
preferred. A range of possible topics appears below.
For Issue 12.2 essays are invited that focus on the auteur Janicza Bravo,
whose short films include: *Eat* (2011), *Gregory Go Boom* (2013), *Pauline
Alone* (2014), *Man Rots from the Head* (2016), and *Hard World for Small
Things* (2016).
Also, for this issue, one title has been chosen for close study, *Exam* (
*Emtehan*)  (2019), the award-winning Iranian short directed and co-written
by Sonia K. Hadad. A link to the film is available @
https://vimeo.com/540205649. An interview with the director and a
shot-by-shot breakdown of the *Exam* will be available on the journal’s
site @ https://www.intellectbooks.com/short-film-studies. In addition, *Short
Film Studies* observes a constant open Call for Papers and welcomes

and scholarly interests.
