We are now calling for your writing pieces as part of our forthcoming film journal.
My name is Lily Collinson, and I am studying Spanish and Chinese at Lancaster University. As part of my Future Talent Programme 2021-2022 with UK-China Film Collab, I am currently curating a film journal which will include academic essays, reviews, and interviews upon the basis of Chinese students (all nationalities) writing on British films and British students writing on Chinese films.
The aim of the journal is to facilitate discussion between Chinese and British students on film whilst also promoting mutual understanding and collaboration between our nations.
I am looking for contributors from different universities across Greater China and the UK to write academic essays, film reviews and other content. I am also looking for British and Chinese film students/filmmakers who would like to be interviewed about their projects and creations.
