In 2014 Kino-Ikon became a peer-reviewed journal.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe journal was founded in 1996 by the pedagogues and students of the Film Science Department at the Film and TV Faculty. Since its origins it has been devoted to the stadium of cinema, it\u2019s open to publish research of various kinds of moving images (such as television or new media), nevertheless. Since the Slovak Film Institute participated in the journal\u2019s publishing, the work of the editors has become more professional. The inclusion of the Frame appendix in 2003 was supposed to support young Slovak film criticism, to allow young adepts to get some practical experience. Zuzana Moj\u017ei\u0161ov\u00e1 is the editor-in-chief of Frame.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\tIn 2014 the journal became peer-reviewed. The articles published as a part of the issue\u2019s main theme or as a part of the \u201cstadium\u201d section, mostly written by the Slovak (and Czech) authors are reviewed. The journal uses a double-blind peer review process.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tKino-Ikon is mostly oriented on the history of the Slovak cinema. The journal publishes papers which result from the cotemporary (individual or collective) research projects, voluminous reviews of contemporary developments in Slovak cinema, transcripts from various roundtables, masterclasses and discussions with filmmakers and connoisseurs of cinema. As a direct enhancement of this, the journal publishes editions of unique written and photographed archive material (such as documents about the cinema\u2019s executives, industry correspondence, unrealized film stories and scripts and others).<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe following regular sections form the journal:<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>studium<\/strong> \u2013 a peer-reviewed section; here are published original papers of important length dedicated to the Slovak cinema (case studies, specific film\u2019s analysis, analysis of movements, authorial styles, historical eras, &#8230;),<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>issue\u2019s theme<\/strong> \u2013 a peer-reviewed section; the editors or external authors give impulses for this section (editor or guest editor is responsible for it); the aim is to bring up to date the theoretical, historical or aesthetical knowledge on a given area of cinema (animation, for instance), or to remember an anniversary of an important personality, or to focus on the less researched phenomena (genres, &#8230;) and events of cinema and of arts\/culture in general. The issue\u2019s theme might be proposed by the scholars or even by events of cinema culture in Slovakia or the Czech republic (such as the most important festivals \u2013 IFF Karlovy Vary, IFDF Jihlava, Festival of Film Animation and Contemporary Art, Summer Film School Uhersk\u00e9 Hradi\u0161t\u011b, &#8230;). The new films in the local distribution might give impulse for the issue\u2019s theme, too, just as the local conferences, archival screenings and festivals or film studies seminaries taking place.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>double touch<\/strong> \u2013 this section brings two different perspectives on the same subject (two authors writing about the same film from various vantage points, for instance),<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>profiles<\/strong> \u2013 more complex summaries of a life\u2019s work of a selected filmmaker (be it local filmmaker or world-renowned),<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>beyond the margin<\/strong> \u2013 in this section a very short articles on a very particular subjects (details, images, words, sounds, scenes, moments&#8230;) are published. \u201cIt\u2019s a section dedicated to a cinephiliac microscopy\u201d,<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>interviews, film and literature reflections<\/strong> \u2013 essays about or reviews of films or&nbsp; literature on films,<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>history of virtual films, history of supporting characters in arts<\/strong> \u2013 these are irregular sections focused on \u201ca more playful cultivation of the national cinema\u2019s memory\u201d, interdisciplinary and comparatively oriented (to stress the dialogical contacts between the cinema and other arts).<\/p>\n<p>\n\tSince 2008 the journal collaborates extensively with the International Festival of Film Clubs Febiofest. The journal\u2019s editors present focused thematic sections of films at the festival.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tSince 2010 the journal is regularly financially supported by the Audiovisual found throughout it\u2019s programme 3 dedicated to education, training, research and publishing in the field of audiovisual culture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kino-Ikon \u2013 a&nbsp;journal for the sciences of the moving image and cinema \u2013 is published twice a&nbsp;year.
