Lynne Sachs and MFJ Editor Nicholas Gamso in person!

Since its inception in 1978, the Millennium Film Journal has aspired to provide a space for writers and artists to document and discuss the ever-evolving field of artists' moving image. With its consistent focus on contemporary media, the MFJ is a primary source record of the last 45+ years of the field. Keenly aware of the disconnect between reading about and watching film, the MFJ is always on the lookout for ways to bridge the gap.

The title of the Fall 2016 issue of Millennium Film Journal – Image Machines – invites readers to consider artists’ moving image as an interplay between the activities and intentions of filmmakers and the variety of machines and methods employed in the creation of their works. Through disarming voice-overs, archival excavations, and personal interventions, these digital and photo-chemical works chart the leaky tensions between interior and exterior landscapes.
