The Journal of Short Film named on BEST MAGAZINES OF 2005 list;
Volume 3 (Spring 2006) is released; inevitable JSF Blog begun

Columbus, OH (May 16, 2006)  The Journal of Short Film has become the
first DVD publication to make the Top 10 list of BEST MAGAZINES for
2005.  The May 1st issue of The Library Journal—a leading trade
magazine for libraries and publishers—listed the JSF alongside such
popular new titles as Knitscene and Dell Extreme Sudoku.  (Read the

The staff of the JSF considers the listing a confirmation of short
film’s commercial appeal and a validation of DVD serials, in general.
The listing counts as a coup especially for the independent and
experimental kinds of film the JSF publishes.

“Not only are we happy to publish a new group of independent filmmakers
every three months,” says publisher Karl Mechem, “but proving short
film’s popular appeal is a major step in the democratization of film
that motivated us from the beginning.”
