The editors therefore decided that the journal, at least in the politico-geographical sense, would embrace the following: Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, the states of the former Yugoslavia, Albania and Ukraine.
The consensus that emerged was for a publication that would be reasonably well defined but as inclu- sive as possible. The team that worked together on bringing this new ‘creation’ to life thought long and hard about the scope of the journal and discussed this with a number of prominent scholars in the field. devoted to Eastern European cinema which have proliferated since the collapse of the Berlin Wall some 20 years ago (unfo rtunat ely we will just miss the annive rsary of this momen- tous event). This has stood in sharp contrast to the number of excellent publications, monographs, edited collections, conferences and symposia, etc.
For some time, actually for too long, there has been no regularly appearing English- language journal devoted to the cinema of the region. ! It is the aim of the editors that the journal will fill a gap in the scholarly and intellectual landscape of cinema studies about Eastern Europe.
