Film and Philosophy is a peer-reviewed academic journal that examines films from a philosophical perspective. It was established in 1994 and is sponsored by the Society for the Philosophic Study of the Contemporary Visual Arts.[1] The journal has examined various film genres, including horror and science fiction films, and contributed to feminist philosophy of film.[2] It has also published special issues on ethical issues and existential themes in film, as well as philosophical themes in the films of Woody Allen.[3] For many years the journal was edited by Daniel Shaw at Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania.[4] It is currently edited by Laura T. Di Summa.[5] Publication of the journal is managed on the Society's behalf by the Philosophy Documentation Center.[6]
