Dear Screen-L Moderator, I hope this message finds you well. Below is a Call for the *Short Film Studies Journal* (for which I'm the editor). I'm hoping you can post it to the Listserv. Thank you! Best, Cynthia *Short Film Studies* (Journal) Call for Papers, Issue 11.2 *Short Film Studies* is a peer-reviewed journal published twice a year. Given the importance and increasing visibility of short films in our current media environment, the journal aims to offer timely reflections on and a centering of the form. Toward that end, the journal is seeking research based and analytical essays that enable a broad appreciation of short films and media. Essays may focus on narrative—fiction and nonfiction—as well as live action and/or animated titles. A range of possible topics appears below. Submissions of both thematic essays and close readings of single titles are welcome. For Issue 11.2, essays are invited that focus on the short film auteur Lynne Ramsay’s work, whose short titles are: *Brigitte* (documentary) 2019; *Swimmer*, 2012; *Kill the Day*, 2000; *Gasman*, 1998; *Small Deaths*, 1996. Also, for this issue, one title has been chosen for close study, the German production *Trade Queen* (2015), directed by David Wagner; an interview with the filmmaker and a link to the film are available @ XX. In addition, *Short Film Studies* will observe an open Call for Papers and welcomes submissions from short film/media scholars that reflect their own critical and scholarly interests. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: • Analyses of individual titles, contemporary and historical • Short film theory and specificity • Production histories • Short form auteurs • Representations of marginalized and underrepresented communities • Genre shorts (including parody and satire) • Narrative music videos • Short film canon • Social justice shorts • Short film series and anthologies • Shorts from emerging national cinemas • Fashion shorts • Student shorts • LGBTQ+ themes and representation • Interviews with short filmmakers Please send a brief, 50- to 75-word abstract and a brief biographical statement to the editor, Cynthia Felando ([log in to unmask]), by January 16, 2021.
