Cover Feature – Tilda Swinton

The front cover is dominated by a striking stylised portrait of Tilda Swinton, wearing a dramatic red sculptural outfit against a predominantly black background.

The main cover feature is:

“The Passions of Tilda Swinton”

The issue advertises an exclusive interview, with the feature promoted around themes including:

• Fantasy
• Identity
• Cinema and the “wild wide screen”
• Swinton’s creative interests and approach to film

The unusual fragmented photographic design of the cover gives the issue a distinctive art-cinema appearance that should appeal to collectors of Tilda Swinton memorabilia, film magazines and BFI publications.

The cover also highlights several significant filmmakers and film-industry subjects:

Richard Stanley
A feature connected with filmmaker Richard Stanley, known for genre and cult cinema.
