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 June 2026 issue leads with a cover story on Marilyn Monroe, taking a look back at some of the defining moments of her career on what would have been her 100th birthday. Elsewhere, Guillermo del Toro reflects on the films that ignited his cinephilia—from William Wyler’s ‘Wuthering Heights’ to Japanese kaiju movies—on the eve of receiving a BFI Fellowship, Filipe Furtado shines a light on the ‘thrillingly imaginative’ films that arose from Brazil’s 1964-1985 military dictatorship, and this edition’s Black Film Bulletin revisits a conversation between June Givanni and Martinican film director Euzhan Palcy, touching on ‘tensions between awards recognition and access to funding’.
