New BRIGHT LIGHTS FILM JOURNAL

Bodies Politic/Body Politics
"Your body is a microcosm of all existence." – On Michelle LeBrun's Death: A Love Story: Bodies Politic/Body Politics: The Political and the Personal in Contemporary Film Essays by Matt Brennan
Film Studies For Free continues to catch up with August's bumper crop of new online journal issues. Over the weekend, it has been thoroughly enjoying the lively and eclectic brilliance of Bright Lights Film Journal's latest offering of very savvy, and sometimes sassy, articles.

They may not be 'peer reviewed' in the strict scholarly sense, but film studies academics and cinephiles will miss these at their peril.

The entire table of contents for Issue 73 is thus reproduced below. And don't miss Bright Lights After Dark, BLFJ's fabulous film blog for further, essential, movie musings.

Hey Catherine,

Thanks for taking note of Bright Lights, and backatcha. FSFF is "one of the essentials" (to quote TCM), and we love it.

One thing I should mention is that we actually do peer review some but not most of the articles, so we don't call ourselves "peer reviewed."

Thanks Gary. And thanks a lot for clarifying about 'peer review'. Many thanks, also, for such a great issue.
