This Special Collection of articles for the Open Library of Humanities (OLH) will examine the critical and often complex relationship between television and film when popular television programmes are re-made for the big screen. The collection therefore aims to illuminate the complex networks of knowledge involved in this process, and to encourage a variety of critical approaches to examining the TV-to-Screen transition. 

Papers can include, but are not restricted to, examinations of the transitional processes of:

•    Industry and production values
•    Narrative development
•    Character/personnel changes and/or development
•    Plot and scenario transitions
•    Original versus adaptation
•    Failures and successes
•    Long Form versus Seriality
•    The television to screen phenomenon

Research articles should be approximately 8000 words in length, including references and a short bibliography. Submissions should comprise of:

•    Abstract (250 words)
•    Full-length article (8000 words)
•    Author information (short biographical statement of 200 words)

The deadline for submission is: 4th April 2016. 

The special collection, edited by Kenneth Longden, is to be published in the Open Library of Humanities (OLH) (ISSN 2056-6700).
