- Information about our most recent publications.
- Details for submitting to our current issues.
Q1. What even is the Journal?
The journal is a collaborative project put together by Lancaster University students and the CUT TO team – each term, students submit work according to our guidelines (explained below) that covers a wide range of film-related topics, such as film reviews, critical readings, articles, important film events, obituaries for famous filmmakers who have passed away.
Q2. When and where is the finished issue published?
Here, on this website! Under our menu tab “Our Work,” there’s a page named “Published Issues“ which gets updated with a free pdf copy of each issue we create. When we publish more, those will be there! (Look out for them!) Currently we publish only once per term – three times an academic year. This might change though!
Q3. How do I keep up?
On our home page, we link some of our socials. Mainly, we’re active on our Instagram, where we post updates, our calls for submissions, parts of our “Learning Cinema” series, and our “Filmmaker Of Focus” series. Apart from that, we’re also active on this website and our emails are always open!

2. Fill in a submissions form.
This can be found below and allows us to certify that your work is your own and is not plagiarized. If your work is assessed or completed coursework for a film-related course you can detail the name of the tutor who assessed it here as well.
It also allows the CUT/TO team to liaise with you on edits to your work to make sure you are satisfied with any changes made. We can also keep your work if it is rejected for on issue as it may be published in a later issue
