Science Fiction Film and Television is a biannual, peer-reviewed journal published by Liverpool University Press. Edited by Mark Bould (UWE) and Sherryl Vint (Brock University), with an international board of advisory editors, it encourages dialogue among the scholarly and intellectual communities of film studies, sf studies and television studies.   We invite submissions on all areas of sf film and television. We publish work that situates texts, practices and institutions within broader national, historical, cultural, theoretical and critical contexts. In addition to popular and contemporary works, we are interested in articles which consider critically neglected texts and traditions, propose innovative ways of looking at canonical texts, or explore the tensions and synergies that emerge from the interaction of genre and medium. We encourage work that considers the specificities of the genre and medium, the science-fictionality of media technologies and forms themselves, and the relationships between globalisation, transnationalism, media convergence and sf.   Science Fiction Film and Television Volume 1, issue 2, Autumn 2008   Contents   Articles Found-footage science fiction: five films by Craig Baldwin, Jonathan Weiss, Werner Herzog and Patrick Keiller 193 Roger Luckhurst Darwin’s soldiers: gender, evolution and warfare in Them! and Forbidden Planet 215 Patrick B.
