‘[Film International] is a wonderful publication of enormous interest to anyone who is passionate about film’ – Andre Gregory
‘A terrific magazine with a level of writing about film that is unfortunately all too rare these days’ – Robert Pulcini, co-writer/director, American Splendor and 10,000 Saints
Film International started in 1973 as Filmhäftet in Sweden and has through the years recruited contributors among the most distinguished scholars and journalists around the world.
The last issue of Filmhäftet (no. 124) came out in November 2002. In 2003 the journal changed its name to Film International and became an all-English edition.
Film International covers film culture as part of the broader culture, history and economy of society. We address topics of contemporary relevance from historically informed perspectives. We wish to bridge the gap between the academy and the outside world, and encourage the participation of scholars from a variety of disciplines, as well as journalists, freelance writers, activists and film-makers.
We refuse the facile dichotomies of ‘high’ and ‘low’, Hollywood and independent, art and commercial cinema. We discuss Hollywood films seriously, and ‘art’ movies critically. We aim at becoming a truly international journal, recognising local specificities, but also the ultimate interconnectedness of an increasingly globalised world.
