Databases to Find Articles

Databases will allow you to search for articles amongst many journals at once. Arts & Humanities Index has the same interface as Web of Science, but all of the science is cut out and the focus is just arts and humanities research. 

Cinema Journals

These are journals rather than databases. For your purposes, they function like a journal, but they are focused on cinema. In one case, the whole journal is just on Italian cinema.  Browse the journal as if it were a magazine or run simple searches of the film title and director name.

Journal of Italian Cinema and Media Studies
The Journal of Italian Cinema & Media Studies (JICMS) is a fully peer reviewed English language journal, which explores Italian cinema and media as sites of crossing, allowing critical discussion of the work of filmmakers, artists in the film industry and media professionals. The journal intends to revive a critical discussion on the auteurs, celebrate new directors and accented cinema, and examine Italy as a geo-cultural locus for contemporary debate on translocal cinema.

Film International
Aims not to be just a scholarly journal, but a new breed of film magazine, mixing established academic film scholars (and other scholars) with renowned film journalists, trying to reach a wider circle of readers.

Cinergie
Cinergie is a wide-ranging film journal, that aims to publish original articles about national and international cinema, building a bridge to related fields.
