Aniki: Portuguese Journal of the Moving Image

Aims & Scope

Founded in May 2013, Aniki: Portuguese Journal of the Moving Image is an international and interdisciplinary journal published, in an electronic format (online), twice a year (in January and in July) on behalf of the Portuguese Association of Researchers of the Moving Image (AIM).

Aniki was created to promote the links between Portuguese-speaking and international scientific communities devoted to film and media studies.

Accepting a wide range of empirical, historical, and theoretical perspectives, the journal provides this world-wide scholarly community with a specialised platform to debate all types of moving image, from arthouse, popular and non-theatrical films to television programmes, videos, and video games, digital cultures, sound and music in film, among other topics of interest.

The journal is committed to the publication of original, open-access, peer-reviewed, and high-quality research in three main international languages (English, Portuguese, and Spanish) and everyone can submit to it.

The editors are keen to publish articles that are knowledgeable of and engage with key international debates and approaches.

Apart from research essays which have undergone double-blind peer review, the journal publishes interviews, book reviews, conference reports, critical reviews of art exhibitions and reports of international film festivals.

Each issue includes a thematic section guest-edited by internationally recognised experts in the field, which is widely announced every six months in an open call for papers.
