One frame at a time…
Mise-en-scène: The Journal of Film & Visual Narration (MSJ), the official film studies journal of Kwantlen Polytechnic University that endeavours to promote and advance the study of film as an interdisciplinary, cross-cultural art form grounded in the visual narrative. Supported by an international board and readership, this peer-reviewed publication is dedicated to the scholarly investigation of filmic storytelling, one frame at a time. From its articles to its interviews, its contents are deeply in conversation with what film critic Adrian Martin has called “A Term that Means Everything, and Nothing Very Specific.” Every piece featured in the journal strives to define part of the mise-en-scène enigma and its underlying role in the screen narrative.
