Films and Filming was a prestigious British cinema magazine that played a vital role in film journalism from its inception in 1954 until the early 1990s.
Unlike many mainstream publications of its time, the magazine was celebrated for its intellectual and sophisticated approach, prioritizing “art house” cinema and international directors over typical Hollywood gossip. The magazine was particularly famous for its high-quality, artistic photography and its progressive stance; it often featured provocative imagery that challenged the era’s social norms, making it a landmark publication for both cinephiles and the LGBTQ+ community.
By treating filmmaking as a serious art form rather than mere commercial entertainment, Films and Filming provided a deep archive of the transition from the Golden Age of cinema to the radical movements of the late 20th century.
