The Cine-Files, the official SCAD cinema studies department Web site and blog, seeks content for its first issue. The theme is “The Travel Film.” Movies often transport us by leading us into uncharted waters, to other lands, to places unknown and fantastical. But there is also a genre of film that seeks to romanticize, infantilize and demonize other cultures and places. They can be lush, stark, thrilling, inspiring or humbling. The Cine-Files wishes to further explore this genre through specific examples, instances of Orientalism, colonialism, adventure, history, characterization and more in films. Submissions requirements and additional details can be found online.
