The Big Picture goes beyond the borders of the screen to reveal cinema’s unique power to entertain, inspire and connect to each and every one of us.
Aimed at the enthusiastic film-goer at large, The Big Picture provides an original take on the cinematic experience and is a platform dedicated to publishing thought provoking content by new and emerging voices in film writing.
We are a safe space for tolerant views and respectful attitudes and have a zero-tolerance policy for hate speech or discrimination against any group, and we look for this to be reflected in our contributor roster as well as all contributed material.
The Big Picture magazine is owned by Bristol-based Intellect Ltd. The company was founded by Masoud Yazdani in 1986 and specialises in a wide range of books and journals that cover subject areas such as film, theatre, cultural studies, art, design, music and photography.
