Hello and welcome to our faithful readers, both those who have followed us since last winter and those exploring the website anew. We have been busy so far in 2018 creating criticism/analysis about film noir, page-to-screen adaptation, and live coverage of the Mountainfilm Film Festival.
At POVwinona we are excited to announce new content for this fall, featuring issues relating to the action and sci-fi genres. WSU Film Studies students are also curating a film series for the university theme of “Resilience,” which will include a behind-the-scenes look into the process as well as previews and reviews of films being shown. Various critical and creative content will appear monthly so stay tuned for content as it appears. Layout changes will also be customized, giving POVwinona a more personal and navigable look. Please like and share us on our social media platforms @wsufilmsstudies on Facebook, @wsufilmstudies on Twitter, and the Film Studies program page on the winona.edu directory.
