Call for Submissions: CINEACTION 104 The Art Film

In the last few years, a revival of the art film is evident in films like Glazer’s Zone of Interest, Kaurismäki’s Fallen Leaves, Wenders’ A Perfect Day, Triet’s Anatomy of a Fall, and even, one might argue, last year’s blockbusters, Gerwig’s Barbie and Nolan’s Oppenheimer. The resurgence of the art film is significant as it extends beyond commercialism, considering authorship, style, a personal voice, often challenging the audience to participate and engage in an active way. It also attests to a cinema that still attracts an audience willing and eager to experience a screening in a theatre.

In the next issue, we welcome submissions on the subject of the art film, past and present, considering the permeable boundaries between art and entertainment.
