The latest edition of Film & Festivals will be out soon, 

and it is a special edition on Music & Film. There's a feature on 

movies at music festivals, a look at music video makers who have gone 

on to make major feature films, and interviews with musicians turned 

filmmakers, along with usual roundup of festivals and the regular 

columns.

 

Since becoming a digital magazine we have made it available online 

for free, but with advertising budgets being slashed in the current 

economic climate it has become increasingly hard in this niche market 

to get any paid advertising to support the magazine's overheads. With 

this in mind we have taken the decision to start charging a nominal 

fee for the magazine to offset these costs. From the forthcoming 

issue we will be charging £1.50 per issue, or £15 for an annual 

subscription, which entitles you to read the magazine on five 

different computers. We hope that you will continue to read and 

support the magazine so we can continue to bring you the high-

quality, exclusive articles and independent views on festivals and 

filmmaking you have been enjoying so far, in a carbon neutral format.

 

By way of recompense, we are offering 20% off the price of our print-

on-demand version of the magazine (including all back issues) until 

the end of August. This is available to US, Canadian and UK 

residents. Visit http://magcloud.com/browse/Magazine/4574 to order 

copies.

 

The website will remain the same. You can still sign up as a member 

for free and post news about your festivals, call for entries, 

requests for crew and so forth. Our directory of funding bodies 

throughout the world is also available for free.

 

Thank you, and we look forward to your continued support.

 

Rose Chamberlain, Editor-in-Chief and Publisher
