KinoKultura considers for publication original manuscripts on contemporary Russian visual culture, especially cinema. Articles should normally not exceed 8,000 words. Authors should use the Harvard system, with a list of works cited following the text; they should use footnotes sparingly and only where absolutely necessary. All submissions are reviewed internally, but do not undergo a process of anonymous peer review. Articles should be submitted electronically to Vladimir Padunov.
KinoKultura normally commissions film reviews, but unsolicited reviews are considered for publication at the discretion of the editors. It is advisable to check with Vladimir Padunov before submitting a review. Deadlines for reviews are agreed in advance with Vladimir Padunov.
KinoKultura normally provides illustrations of reviews, but not for articles. Authors of articles are strongly encouraged to submit images with their texts. If review authors wish to submit specific images with their review, they may do so. Contributors should use the following format: images should be of 200-300 dpi resolution and 300-500pixels at the larger side (whether height or width). All images should be saved as jpeg files and sent, with the reivew, to Vladimir Padunov in the first instance.
