Results on the upper and lower semicontinuity of functionals defined on spaces of convex and more general functions are established. In particular, the following result is obtained. Let $ϕ(v; \cdot)$ be the density of the absolutely continuous part of a Radon measure $Φ(v; \cdot)$ associated to a function $v\colon X\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ defined on the measure space $(X,λ)$. For concave $ζ\colon [0, \infty)\rightarrow[0,\infty)$ with $\lim_{t\to 0} ζ(t)=0$ and $\lim_{t\to\infty}ζ(t)/t= 0$, it is shown that the functional $v\mapsto\int_{X} ζ(ϕ(v;x))\,\mathrm{d}λ(x)$ depends upper semicontinuously on $v$. Examples include so-called functional affine surface areas for convex functions.
