The international film magazine from the British Film Institute, featuring reviews, interviews with filmmakers, profiles of film stars past and present, mega movie listicles and industry-focused news. It’s the solid movie magazine at the centre of the industry, around which the likes of Little White Lies and others can spin a more tangential approach to the subject.
This September 2026 edition leads with a cover story featuring Christopher Nolan, unfolding over six double pages, the director reflects on his extended interest in ‘homecoming’ and recurring use of fragmented narratives, takes a deep dive into his recent epic ‘The Odyssey’, and delves into his aesthetic conjuring suspense of disbelief among his audience.
Elsewhere, director Pedro Almodóvar sits in conversation with Maria Delgado to discuss the personal influences behind his upcoming release ‘Bitter Christmas’, Mathew Barrington takes a retrospective look at the oeuvre of pioneering filmmaker William Greaves, and Becca Voelcker compares Chantal Akerman and Martin Scorsese's depictions of New York in the 1970s.
