Film Studies For Free only just heard about the Spring 2010 issue of online journal Cinephile (Vol. 6 No. 1). So, while technically FSFF is ‘rushing you the news’, it red-facedly admits that it arrived a little late to this particular, openly accessible, Film Studies party…

Anyhoooo, it’s an excellent issue on ‘Sound on Screen’, available as one large PDF. The contents are given below.

FSFF earnestly promises to keep its e-ears closer to the ground next time an issue is due…
