The Film Professional’s Guide to the Blogosphere: A directory of film blogs
When I was invited to start blogging for IPEX, most of my film reading came from the trades: Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, IMDb Pro, Worldscreen, and C21, with the odd issue of Film Comment or Cahiers du cinema thrown in when I found the time to feel cultured. Over the last month, I’ve really enjoyed the chance to catch up on the state of online film blogging and am pleased to report that it’s a wild and woolly world out there with a lot of gems and really cutting edge information if you know where to look. This week, I’m happy to present a satisfactorily comprehensive directory of film blogs, categorized under headings that make sense to me.
Coming soon: I get all Andrew Sarris on the list and offer my top picks, and top picks for industry professionals who are looking for the kind of alternative industry perspective blogs can provide.
Have I missed your blog? I’d love to visit it, so please leave me a comment.
