Call for Papers
Directory of World Cinema: American Hollywood
Edited by Lincoln Geraghty, University of Portsmouth, UK
I have been commissioned by Intellect Publishers to edit the American
Hollywood volume of their new Directory of World Cinema and I am in the
process of assigning contributions. The Directory will be published in both
print and online formats, with the edited print volume for American
Hollywood to be published in 2011 and biannually from then on. The online
repository for the Directory is seeking contributors for film reviews
throughout the year and will be available free to all. For more information
on this go to: http://www.worldcinemadirectory.org/
The American Hollywood volume consists of 12 genre categories containing 8
film reviews, each genre is explored through an introductory essay which
will also be written by contributors. The volume has space for critical
discussions of key Hollywood directors and there are also chapters devoted
to exploring the important areas of Hollywood film history, industry,
stardom and audiences.
