Research: What We Do

Film and Screen Media at University College Cork is a vibrant, forward-looking research environment led by internationally recognised experts and with a thriving graduate studies community. We have a marked knowledge-sharing ethos and a strong record in attracting high-profile speakers, both academics and practitioners in the film industry. We publish Alphaville: Journal of Film and Screen Media, a leading peer-reviewed open-access journal with a global readership. Our research focuses on two key clusters of distinction: Film and Screen Media Histories; and Film and Screen Media Forms and Practices. We also co-host the Laboratory for Semiotics, Ethnosemiotics, Nonfictional Studies and Audiovisuality (SENSA Lab).
