Each submission should include a Cover Letter that contains:1)   Complete reviewer information (name, address, phone/fax, e-mail, institutional affiliation, and a 50-100 word biography)2)   Complete film information (title, year, length, language/subtitles if any, producer/director)3)   Any other important and relevant informationThe style of all reviews should follow the American Sociological Association’s style guide, explained here: http://societieswithoutborders.com/submissions/.The deadline for film reviews is quarterly (December 1 in 2014; March 1, June 1, and September 1 in 2015).
