History

Screen originated in the Society of Film Teachers' newsletter, The Film Teacher, seventeen issues of which appeared between 1952 and 1958. In the following year the Society, renamed the Society for Education in Film and Television (SEFT), launched a print journal called Screen Education, which was renamed Screen in 1969. Screen Education continued publication as a sister journal to Screen until 1982. In 1989 SEFT ceased operation and Screen moved to its current base at the University of Glasgow. ^[1]

During the 1970s, Screen was particularly influential in the nascent field of film studies. It published many articles that have become standards in the field—including Laura Mulvey's foundational work, "Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema" (1975).^[2] Now published by Oxford University Press, the journal is still highly regarded in academic circles.

Screen theory, a Marxist-psychoanalytic film theory that came to prominence in Britain in the early 1970s, took its name from Screen.^[3]
