SoC Launches ‘Cinesthesia’ Film Journal

Editorial staff toast the inaugural issue of Cinesthesia (with sparkling grape juice!)

The School of Communications has launched a new journal, Cinesthesia, featuring exemplary student essays about film.

The journal is online and can be found at http://cinesthesiajournal.wordpress.com/

The journal invites submissions from all students interested in writing about film. Essays can be entered in three categories: Spotlight on a Theory, Cinema and Discourse, and Current Cinema.

The current issue was edited by Danica Butkovich, Joe Hogan (Editor in-Chief), Nikki Martin and Kelly Meyer. Toni Perrine serves as the advisor.

“This issue of Cinesthesia includes papers originally written for classes in film history and theory,” Perrine said. “Two of the papers were written by alumni of the film/video program. It also includes original artwork created by Mallory Quinn, a junior majoring in illustration. Included in this issue is a preview of work produced for the Film/Video Senior Project class which will debut at the Fall Showcase on Thursday, December 13 at 7 p.m. in the Loosemore Auditorium.
