Flicker Magazine
Flicker Magazine is a print and digital publication covering film, art, and culture, shaped by queer perspectives and a wider range of creative voices.
You’ll find artists, filmmakers, and storytellers from around the world, featured across our pages and screens. From international film festivals to local exhibitions, Flicker captures real human stories behind creativity and passion — the moments that make art feel alive.
Spotlighting queer and ally voices in Film and Entertainment
At Flicker Magazine we publish new online articles, reviews, and interviews throughout the week, sharing fresh stories from film, theatre, art, and queer culture. We also release a print version, where we publish longer features and exclusive conversations you will not find anywhere else.
Our in-house and freelance editors explore the meeting point of cinema, art, and LGBTQIA+ culture. Each issue brings interviews, festival reports, and features that focus on honesty, visibility, and creative expression.
Our 5th edition, the Family Issue, brings together 88 pages of film, theatre, art and queer life. Cover stars Jon Blackburn and John Mays lead an issue exploring family in all its forms, alongside interviews, personal stories, festival coverage and photography from London, New York, France, Greece and beyond.
Issue 5 brings together fifteen features across film, theatre, queer culture, photography and the people behind them, with family appearing throughout the magazine in many different forms.
On the cover are Jon Blackburn and John Mays. In We Built the Family We Dreamt Of, the husbands and fathers of three talk openly about creating the stable family they both wanted growing up.
Across the issue, Flicker meets people whose work, lives and stories move between London, New York, France, Greece and beyond. Anne-Catherine Mezure looks back at twenty years of building a queer film festival in France. Tzeli Hadjidimitriou returns to Lesvos and the identities she once kept apart. Daniel Beauchemin opens the doors of his New York framing shop after almost forty years working alongside artists and collectors.
There are conversations with Waleed Akhtar about The P Word, Niamh McCormack about refusing to settle into one kind of role, Divina De Campo about twenty years in drag, and Eleanor Tindall about writing Tender for Bush Theatre.
Summer also became part of the issue. Flicker, One Fluid Night and Lexme Red marched together at Pride in London for the first time, while our first proper Edinburgh Fringe coverage brought us stories including Ros Watt’s Trans People Are Awful and Austin Jennings Boykin’s A Gay Masseur’s Guide to Happy Endings.
Elsewhere, Scott Horgan and Anish Roy tell the story of meeting through Romeo and Hamed and falling for each other while making the show. Pancho Assoluto hands his portrait archive over to fourteen artists for More Than a Portrait. Simon Worrell looks at queer rights around the world. And RuPaul, Ginger Minj and Jujubee end up on a runaway train in Stop! That! Train!
Flicker Magazine Issue 5 is available now in print and digital. The digital edition is included with the Flicker subscription, while the print edition can be ordered separately from our shop.
