Flick through File magazine

File magazine from Steven Watson on Vimeo.

I’m really not sure what to make of this. File is a lovely new film magazine that was sent to me a few weeks ago. I kept meaning to post something about it and then over Easter Jeremy Leslie went and said everything I might have said, but better.

But I still wanted to do something with it, and it struck me that part of what makes File (and probably any magazine) so good is the experience of flicking through it. So then I tried filming myself doing that, and the result is embedded here for all to see.

It’s totally amateur, not hugely insightful and pretty short, but I think it still has some value. What do you think? If this one goes down well I might give the whole video thing some more thought and try filming some more of the magazines I’ve got here. Or I might just stick to taking pictures and typing things. Looking forward to getting some feedback!
