Best Online Film Studies Resources in 2012: Announcing a Readers' Poll!



Dear Film Studies For Free Readers,


One of FSFF's most popular and most useful blog entries last year was its December 20 roundup: FSFF's Favourite Online Film Studies Resources in 2011.

It will repeat this endeavour this year. But FSFF will make things much more interesting, hopefully, by inviting readers' suggestions, and trying to reflect the views gathered in the results.

Below are last year's categories. Please feel free to respond to these headers or suggest new ones (FSFF will itself inaugurate some videographical/multimedia film studies categories, for example).

You can leave suggestions in the comments below, tweet them to @filmstudiesff, leave them at the Film Studies For Free Facebook page, or send your nominees to FSFF by email. Please feel free to self-nominate!

Let the crowdsourcing begin!!


Lots of love from

I here by nominate Cinephilia & Beyond (http://cinephilearchive.tumblr.com/)for the Best Online Film Studies Resource in 2012! :)

I don't know in which category it goes, it has Blog-like features and looks, but i don't see it as merely a blog, it's like a movie lover's paradise :)

I'm self-nominating Bitch Flicks for the best non-academic, film studies-informed, online film critics category.

And, bonus, it's devoted exclusively to discussing women in film and television!

Alrighty. I can't resist your kind opportunity to spread the word. I'll self-nominate (Reel 3) for best non-academic, film studies-informed, online film critic (even though my blogging is very, very infrequent). Here's a taste:

Fight Club and the IKEA Personality
In the Cut: Subverting Visual Pleasure
A Serious Man: On Sex, Manhood, and Not Thinking

Would this have authority without the great classic, David Bordwell's blog in general http://www.davidbordwell.net/blog/, and his Deconstructive Editing case study of Pick Pocket http://vimeo.com/52312154 in particular?
