Film & Cinema Research: Finding Articles / Journals

A Film Review is generally an article that is published in an online or print newspaper, magazine, or scholarly work that describes and evaluates a film. A review often offers an opinion or focuses on making a recommendation. 

Film Criticism is generally written by an expert in film studies or film scholar. The criticism often presents the film within a specific context (theoretical, social, political or historical) while drawing on a larger dialog and positioning their argument within the field. 

Looking for more Journals and articles for your research? Just look by selecting E-journals underneath the search fill in box on the UNC Libraries' main page.

From here you can search for Journals using your subject

or search using keywords to find the journal using the Search fill in box.

You can also use the Search articles (without finding the journal first) using the article search box in the top right corner.
