New SENSES OF CINEMA: Malick, Godard, Weimar Cinema, Schepisi, Chaplin, Martel, Holland, Philibert, Pereira Dos Santos

Image from Film Socialisme (Jean-Luc Godard, 2010). You can read Samuel Bréan's SOC essay about this film here.

Film Studies For Free is delighted to convey to its readers that a great new issue of Senses of Cinema has just been published. It's a bumper issue with lots of interest.

It is a timely reminder of just what a valuable publication this online journal is. To which end, SOC launched a Support Senses campaign a little while ago. FSFF thinks that if you regularly visit this journal, if you value what it does, perhaps you might like to consider making a small (or large!) donation, perhaps the cost of a monthly commercial film magazine, as a guideline, for starters.
