What is Sight & Sound? Sight & Sound is a magazine company for film

fanatics! This magazine usually supports and focuses on

British independent films, but also includes the big Hollywood films, therefore this would be the perfect magazine we would want our film to be published by.

If the magazine has a British Social Realism film on the front cover, the background tends to be a scene that connotes the film, and relatively a plain and simple background.

If, however, the film cover is a Hollywood film, the background is light.

Sight & Sound was first published in 1932 In 1934 the management of the company was

handed over to the BFI, which still publishes the magazine today.

Sight & Sound was published quarterly for most of its history until the early 1990s, as in 1991 it merged with another of the BFI’s publication, the ‘Monthly Film Bulletin’ and started to appear monthly, just like it says on the tin!
