Our friend and colleague Robin Wood died December 18, 2009. CineAction will be dedicating an issue to Robin and we are inviting readers to submit articles: 1) Dealing with Woods contribution to film criticism 2) on films and/or directors that he wrote about 3) offering a close reading of the film. Robin's genuine love and commitment to the cinema infuses his writing. We intend this issue to be a celebration of Robin's identity and inestimable contribution to film criticism.

Guidelines for Contributors

CineAction issues are organized on specific themes with calls for submissions publicized in advance in each issue and on our website. Inquiries may be sent to cineaction [at] cineaction.ca or to the editor/s indicated in calls for submissions.

However, we also welcome submissions independent of these themes on all subjects of interest to international film and media spectators, critics and scholars. We expect contributors will be engaged with the politics of film and culture and encourage debate and argument. Articles should be written in a style that is lucid and accessible. Our audience includes university scholars but we reach beyond the academy to all readers interested in the pleasures and complexities of the cinema.

Submissions may be short reviews of films or film books, up to 2000 words, review essays or longer historical or theoretical discussions preferably no more than 6000 words, although we have made exceptions.

Notes should be used sparingly. Citations should be included in endnotes following the format recommended in The Chicago Manual of Style. Initial mention of a film should be followed by year of distribution in brackets. We do not print bibliographies or filmographies with articles.

Submissions should be sent in double spaced hard copy to the editor/s. When your submission is selected, we will request an electronic version. Information on availability of stills is appreciated.

Please include a short, one or two line bio and your mailing and email address.

Contributors receive a small honorarium and a 1 year subscription to CineAction.
