History
The magazine was conceived in autumn 2002 but the idea received little support at Cannes 2003.
British Film Magazine launched in London and Cannes 2005. Following three years of difficult development, it was a 108 page glossy Premiere Issue in March 2005, with 10,000 copies printed. That issue was sold in independent shops, specialist film outlets and Borders bookshops in the main cities throughout the UK. Some problems were encountered as the issue bore the cover date of June 2005 instead of Summer 2005, so shops that sold out waited for the next issue to arrive rather than order more copies of the premiere issue.
Two years later, at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2007, the online version was launched. It is read by hundreds of people in up to 50 countries weekly.
Both the print magazine and online magazine are now closed as founder Terence Doyle has stepped away from the company. The website has now been taken over by a different, unconnected business.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of medicine is the history of the unusual.”
—Robert M. Fresco, and Jack Arnold. Prof. Gerald Deemer (Leo G. Carroll)
“I am ashamed to see what a shallow village tale our so-called History is. How many times must we say Rome, and Paris, and Constantinople! What does Rome know of rat and lizard? What are Olympiads and Consulates to these neighboring systems of being? Nay, what food or experience or succor have they for the Esquimaux seal-hunter, or the Kanaka in his canoe, for the fisherman, the stevedore, the porter?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“When the history of this period is written, [William Jennings] Bryan will stand out as one of the most remarkable men of his generation and one of the biggest political men of our country.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
