Description
FFM fills the void created by the fact that there has never, until now, been any forum for the collection and sharing of information, critical thinking and discussion on found footage cinema including all its manifestations: recycled cinema, essay film, collage film, compilation film, archival films, mash-up...
FFM welcomes a selection of articles and sections intended to explore the ethical, political, formal questions and content related to the culture of recycled cinema: monographs, interdisciplinary essays, interviews and columns concerning the eclectic universe of found footage filmmaking.
