About Millennium Film Journal.

Since its inception in 1978, the biannual Millennium Film Journal has served as the world’s premier forum for writing on artists’ moving image. Our mission is to provide in-depth coverage of experimental film in all formats—digital projects, museum installations, festivals, public artworks—ranging from the earliest days of the pre-cinematic to a possibly non-objective future. Though we operate across multiple platforms, the Journal remains committed to print publishing and to the ever-evolving relationship between moving images and the stable surface of the printed page.

MFJ is unique among film magazines in its invitation to artists to contribute visual media. Each issue includes artist pages—several spreads printed in vivid digital color, created by independent moving image practitioners—in addition to feature articles, reviews, interviews, and studio visits, all generously illustrated. Our back catalog is an important trove of primary documents, and the issues themselves have become collectors’ items, treasured for their distinctive design and striking artist contributions.

MFJ is affiliated with the Millennium Film Workshop, a center for production and exhibition activity in New York City. The Workshop was founded in 1967 by a group of filmmakers with a vision to expand access to the tools, ideas, and networks of filmmaking beyond the confines of institutions and corporate studios. It has supported and exhibited countless filmmakers and continues to play a major role in dismantling the financial and educational barriers that separate the art and craft of filmmaking from the general public.
