Scope

Baltic Screen Media Review is published both in print and online. The core mission of the journal is to publish original and critical research articles on a variety of screen media forms and phenomena that are either produced in or represent the cultures and realities of the Baltic region. Therein, we define the Baltic region flexibly – it may not only refer to the three Baltic countries (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania), but include all the countries and cultures around the Baltic Sea. Our specific interest is to discuss and critically analyze the interconnections and exchanges between the countries of the region and their audiovisual cultures. The term ‘screen media’ indicates that the journal’s focus is ‘convergent’ – we publish articles on film, television, interactive media, video art, video games, mobile augmented reality, etc. Manuscripts scrutinizing the co-evolution of these various screen media forms are given a priority. We also invite articles on the full spectrum of audiovisual culture and different methodological takes on it – including textual analyses, quantitative data analyses, accounts on education, production, exhibition, distribution and reception, as well as reflections on relevant theories and frames of references.

The journal is currently published once a year (with extra thematic issues in some years) and is a blind peer-reviewed journal addressed to the international scholarly community.
