Comparative Cinema ISSN 2604-9821 (formerly Cinema Comparat/ive Cinema, ISSN 2014-8933) is a biannual publication. Published by the Center for Aesthetic Research on Audiovisual Media (CINEMA) of Pompeu Fabra University (UPF), the journal specializes in the study of comparative cinema and the ways in which cinema is received and interpreted in different social and political contexts.
The publication aims to cover an original area of research, developing and establishing a series of methodologies for comparative studies in film. To that end, it also explores the relation between film and the traditions of comparative literature, and with other contemporary arts such as painting, photography, music, dance and audio-visual media.
Comparative Cinema publishes texts in English, Spanish and Catalan, with issues that come out twice per year.
