This IJC issue has been organized around the specially selected articles from the first two editions of the AVANCA | CINEMA Conference.
These articles are in the language in which they were originally published, taking into account the bilingual option (English-Portuguese) which is the basis of the International Journal of Cinema project.
The IJC, in addition to editors' notes, includes several sections whose object of study, the Cinema, is analyzed from a look that joins the academic perspective to the cinephilia.
Interviews, reviews of movies and books are part of this new journal dedicated to the 7^th Art, thereby responding to our concerns in a comprehensive, creative and scientific vision.
