Film Matters announces a new partnership and a new base of operations. Effective August 2025, the journal is now housed within the Department of Film & Media Arts at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. There, all journal activities continue, including our long-term publishing relationship with Intellect Press, UK, alongside all teaching-related work for the student-led editorial board.
The Department of Film & Media Arts is housed within the University’s College of Fine Arts, with sister departments in Music, Theater, Dance, and Art & Art History. Thousands of students call the College home, and our new base of operations includes a fully functional cinema, as well as cutting-edge facilities in all aspects of film production and critical studies. The College engages thriving local and global arts communities, within Utah itself, as well as across satellite provisions in South Korea, France, and Italy. We think Film Matters has an ideal new home in Salt Lake City, poised for an exciting new phase of evolution.
This represents an enormous fresh-start opportunity and we are liaising with Intellect right away to consider ways the journal, and everyone connected to it, can benefit from the new berth, at an ambitious world-class university, in a major global hub of film and media culture. The sky’s the limit!
But our mandate continues: to mentor and showcase emerging film and media scholars, fostering an inclusive diverse community of makers, writers and thinkers engaged with all facets of global sound and moving image cultures, past, present, and future.
While our online site remains https://www.filmmattersmagazine.com/, we now have a new LinkedIn page – please follow us to keep up with the latest FM news!
We thank you for your ongoing support and engagement! Film Matters values all of its partners and is excited for this new-growth phase of its activities.
