An Introduction to Sight and Sound and its Reviews

Sight and Sound belongs to the BFI, and is a monthly publication that covers all UK releases of that month, despite the extent to which they are released.
The review is meant to enthuse the reader- persuasive writing is used.
They are kept short, the pages offers a review, full cast and crew credits, essential film information and a synopsis.
There are parts of the magazine that are intensely academic, however, it covers every UK release that falls within in the time period, whether it is arthouse or mainstream.
It mentions events, including festivals, in detail with write-ups, reviews and appraisals. These are events in which dedicated fans, students and academics are likely to visit. It covers all major art festivals, as opposed to just the main ones.
Feature articles include a variance of film topics.
