MFJ 58 “The Magazine of Artists’ Cinema Since 1978” – 35th Anniversary, Vol.1

Fall 2013

 

Three and a half decades have passed since the first issue of the Millennium Film Journal, which was founded in 1978 to address a dearth of writing and few publication opportunities in an increasingly vibrant, but insistently anti-establishment, field. Needless to say, during this 35 years there have been huge developments in the conception, construction and exhibition of moving images, as well as an explosion of interest in works outside the mainstream cinema by curators, critics, scholars and the non-specialist general public. To celebrate the anniversary, we contacted experts in the field with a deliberately amorphous call for papers, asking simply for a consideration of some aspect of the artists’ cinema during the 35 years of the journal’s publication.
