Current Issue

The Film Dispatch Issue 11 (2025): One Shot is now available here.

Shots can act as distillations of a film’s larger thematic concerns, or they can be stand alone moments that possess meaning in isolation. No matter how a shot is defined, it has the ability to prompt revelation, to speak to the spectator.

The Film Dispatch

The Film Dispatch is a student magazine at the University of Edinburgh dedicated to cinema, television and the moving image.

We feature writing by students from Film and Intermediality in the School of Literatures, Languages and Cultures.

We seek to engage with the poetics, aesthetics and philosophy of film with a lightness of touch. We are interested in canonical as well as long-overlooked films. We also focus on the sociological, political, cultural, and pop-cultural aspects of the viewing experience.
