Moving Pictures (magazine)
Moving Pictures was a British film magazine published from 1911 to 1918. It was one of the earliest film fan magazines in the United Kingdom, focusing primarily on the personalities and production aspects of the burgeoning film industry.
The magazine featured articles, reviews, interviews, and photographs related to both British and American films and actors. It catered to a wide readership, from avid cinema-goers to those interested in the behind-the-scenes world of filmmaking. Regular features included gossip columns, answers to reader questions, and profiles of popular performers.
Moving Pictures is considered a valuable resource for researchers studying the early history of cinema and the development of film fandom in Britain. Its pages offer insight into the popular culture of the period, the evolution of film aesthetics, and the star system's emergence. Its discontinuation in 1918 reflected the changing media landscape and likely the impact of World War I on the publishing industry. Complete runs of the magazine are rare, but individual issues are held by some libraries and archives.
