Film Stories magazine begins its second full year with a big, exclusive look behind the scenes of Wittertainment – and a whole lot more.

As this post is being written, issue 13 of Film Stories magazine – cover dated February 2020 – is on the printing presses, ahead of its journey out into the world week commencing January 22nd. We’re already recording record preorders for the issue, too, which might have something to do with the eight-page exclusive cover feature. If you’d like to secure your copy, you can subscribe now and receive it, or preorder the issue via mail order.

Buttons to do that should magically appear here…

 

If the buttons haven’t appeared – it can be fiddly on mobile devices – the link to our shop is here.

The magazine will also be in select WHSmith stores around the country, and at the BFI shop in London. But again, we’re already experiencing quite a run on this one.

Here’s the full front cover…
