Static Mass Emporium

established in december 2009, static mass is an independent uk film journal which looks at a broad range of work from the industry. with research grounded in modern cinema, film theory and history as well as philosophy of film, our approach is to explore what the essence of film is, the underlying themes we find in films and apply them to the real world, our own experiences and what actually happens around us, thereby delivering a unique perspective. we focus on films with subjects we can research and write about: psychology, justice, equality, civil rights, freedom, environmentalism, climate change, war, terrorism, financial crisis, lgbt, disability, education, mental health and government policies, among others. we are a nonprofit publication free of advertising — sustained entirely by its readers, fans and supporters. we are proud of a growing team of volunteer authors, researchers and correspondents who contribute to static mass sharing their unique thoughts, experiences and ideas.
