[in]Transition: Journal of Videographic Film & Moving Image Studies is the first academic journal of its kind. The open peer-reviewed journal encourages scholars to write using the very materials that constitute their objects of study—moving images and sounds—and publishes work that contributes to both the knowledge of film and media studies and the videographic form. The journal was awarded the 2015 Anne Friedberg Award for Innovative Scholarship of Distinction by the Society for Cinema and Media Studies (SCMS). Established in 2014 as a project of MediaCommons and Journal of Cinema and Media Studies (then known as Cinema Journal), as of 2024, [in]Transition is published by the Open Library of Humanities (OLH) and owned by SCMS.
Welcome to special issue 13.2, Reframing the Argument: Videographic Criticism as Graduate Research Practice, co-edited by Barbara Zecchi, Ariel Avissar, Colleen Laird, and Matthew Thomas Payne. This issue presents eight videographic works produced during the 2025 summer workshop at the University of Notre Dame, in which graduate students explored how video essays can articulate scholarly arguments, transforming traditional text-based academic work into audiovisual form.
