Issue 12: Chaos
Issue 12 of The Film Dispatch is now live online! The world around us is marred by chaos—not only as an external condition, but also as an inner state. Our cinematic landscape is no different, refracting this chaos across a spectrum of genres and forms. The contributors to Issue 12 explore near-future dystopias, psychological thrillers, experimental documentaries, and political dramas as they investigate the ways that films express these instabilities. Since such chaos permeates our reality, maybe these films can help us understand our chaotic world and how to live within it.

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.
