## Notice

Sight and Sound was first published in 1932 and to this day maintains an international reputation as the leading magazine for those with a serious appreciation of film and the moving image. The magazine has recently been redesigned in collaboration with Pentagram, the world's most renowned independent design agency, combining the classic elements of our aesthetic and content with a contemporary look and feel. This redesign has helped us solidify and grow our subscriber base, which continues to be the core of our readership, and stabilise us on the newsstand, which is still in recovery following lockdown. Sight and Sound stands for quality, insight and independent critical thought, and this new incarnation of the magazine brings all of this to life in a more accessible and enticing way. Our current print run is circa 20,000 copies, we publish 10 issues per annum (subject to review), our pagination is 116pp and we use three paper stocks across the issue; Clandon silk for covers and UPM Star silk / Holmen TRND inside. BFI seeks tenders from printers that can deliver the print and fulfilment aspects of this contract.
