About the magazine

Sight and Sound is an online critical platform dedicated to the moving image, with a historical lineage tied to the influential British film magazine of the same name. In its current digital iteration, it operates as a remote, editorially driven space for rigorous writing on cinema, video art, and screen culture. The organization's founding ethos centers on the belief that thoughtful criticism is itself a creative and intellectual practice, and that emerging voices deserve a structured, professional outlet. Its core mission is to publish and support writing that engages seriously with the moving image, from mainstream releases to experimental and non-Western cinema, without sacrificing accessibility or stylistic clarity.

Submitting your work

Reading periodOpen now

Approach Sight and Sound with a clear, well-argued pitch that demonstrates both critical thinking and a distinct voice. Read recent published pieces to understand the editorial register—serious but not academic, opinionated but fair. For the Wider Screen Pitch, focus on under-covered areas of moving-image culture, including experimental, documentary, or non-Western cinema. Avoid generic reviews or promotional angles; instead, propose a specific argument or overlooked subject. Keep pitches concise, include links to prior writing if available, and be prepared for editorial feedback and revision. Response times can vary, so follow up politely after several weeks if you have not heard back.
