About the Journal
Irish Screen Studies Journal is an annual, peer-reviewed and open-access journal of film, television and screen studies overseen by members of the Irish Screen Studies Board, committee members and the individual issue editor.
The scope of the Irish Screen Studies Journal encompasses an expansive view of the field traditionally referred to as "Film Studies", so that it covers screen culture in the broadest sense. This includes cinema (the most widely studied category), as well as short film, television, digital media, networks, transmedia, technoculture, gaming, video art, and any other cultural artefact that takes place on screen.
Current Issue
No. 1 (2026): Cinema & Loneliness
The present issue marks the first step in the latest initiative by the Irish Screen Studies group: a peer-reviewed journal. Although there is no shortage of journals in the field of screen studies, this was created with three core goals in mind. First, to bring together the voices and thinking of early-career and established scholars. Second, to guarantee open-access scholarship to our contributors at a time when this can be a financially prohibitive choice, especially for independent scholars. Third, to ensure that scholarship presented at our annual ISS conference reaches a wider audience.
