Introduction

                         Screen International is the home for news,
                         reviews, features, analysis, box-office analysis,
                         festival reports and commentary for the global
                         film industry, providing insight and intelligence
                         into a world of production, finance, sales and
                         distribution. Now in its fourth decade of oper-
                         ation, Screen diligently covers the network of
                         individuals, companies, events and relationships
                         that compose the film business – reporting on
                         everything from a small independent production
financed by crowd-funding to the global performance of the biggest Holly-
wood blockbusters.
As the international film markets become more and more crucial to every aspect of the
business, turn to the publication that has covered the ins and outs of the international
territories for decades. From the boom of exhibition in Latin America and Russia to
how producers are tapping into Chinese and Middle Eastern financing, we have the
world covered. We also deliver strong coverage of the US industry, reaching beyond the
insular microcosm of Los Angeles to cover the studios and major US players from an
international perspective.
Our invaluable network of staff editors and international reporters and film critics
attend festivals around the globe each week to stay in touch with what’s happening
in each market and tap into the new talents that will be the need-to-know names in
coming years.
We offer this invaluable content across a range of platforms to serve all our readers’
needs – the print magazine Screen International, our online offering ScreenDaily,
daily email newsletters, market and festival print dailies at major events, special print
supplements and other specials including our Stars of Tomorrow new-talent initiative
                                                                                            “Screen has always been the voice for the industry
