Film Studies For Free brings you its latest roundup of links to online and openly accessible film and moving image studies theses. These links (all of them to theses stored in European research repositories) will very shortly be added to FSFF's permanent listing of already more than 150 theses (the vast majority of them at PhD level, though one or two high quality MPhils are also included).

Particular highlights in this roundup, in FSFF's view, are the recent online publication of Andrew Klevan's 1996 thesis Disclosure of the everyday, Catherine Fowler's The films of Chantal Akerman (1995), Martin Stollery's 1994 Alternative empires on Soviet montage cinema, the British documentary movement and colonialism, Ximena Triquell's 2000 socio-semiotic approach to cinematic representations of the Argentine military dictatorship (1976-1983),  and David Martin-Jones' 2002 Becoming-other in time: the Deleuzian subject in cinema.

If any of FSFF's esteemed readers know that their own thesis is available online but not yet added to these listings, please email this blog with a link.
