David Sorfa, Senior Lecturer in Film Studies at Liverpool John Moores University, has been Film-Philosophy’s managing editor since 2006. “We have special issues coming up on disgust and on animation,” he says. “One theme that runs through many of the recently published articles is the question of what it might mean for films to ‘do’ philosophy themselves (rather than merely act as examples of prior philosophical theses).” That’s a major challenge, and it’s been most recently met by, for example, an issue (edited by Douglas Morrey) devoted to Claire Denis and her sometime collaborator Jean-Luc Nancy; articles on the Dardenne Brothers’ cinema in relation to the thought of Emmanuel Levinas; and a compelling reconsideration by Gal Kirn of the collectively made 1932 German film Kuhle Wampe.
