Original Sight & Sound – The International Film Magazine, December 2020, Volume 30 Issue 10, published by the British Film Institute (BFI).

This issue features filmmaker Steve McQueen prominently on the cover, with a major focus on his acclaimed Small Axe anthology and the Britain from which it emerged.

The striking black-and-white cover portrait is accompanied by the headline:

MCQUEEN AND COUNTRY

with the main feature promoted as:

Steve McQueen talks to David Olusoga about his Small Axe anthology and the Britain it was born from.

A strong issue for collectors of British cinema, television, BFI publications, contemporary filmmaking and Steve McQueen-related material.

MAIN FEATURE – STEVE McQUEEN / SMALL AXE

The central feature examines Steve McQueen’s Small Axe anthology, with historian and broadcaster David Olusoga interviewing McQueen about the project and its relationship to British history, identity and society.

The cover also highlights individual Small Axe-related contributions and subjects, including:

• Candice Carty-Williams on Lovers Rock
• Gary Younge on Red, White and Blue
• Kit de Waal on Education
• Jay Bernard on Alex Wheatle
• Kehinde Andrews on Mangrove

This gives the issue substantial depth around the Small Axe series and makes it especially relevant to collectors interested in modern British film and television history.

OTHER COVER FEATURES

• BFI London Film Festival 2020 – Rising Stars
• Pedro Almodóvar – working in a COVID world
• The real story of Herman J. Mankiewicz
• Louise Brooks on Garbo from the archive

This makes it a particularly interesting period issue, capturing both contemporary filmmaking during the COVID era and broader historical and international cinema coverage.
