To all the new Aficionados!

Hello there...

In the past few months, somewhere between festival screenings and First Reactions TikToks, our readership has grown massively – proof, perhaps, that good taste travels fast. So, to those of you who are new here (and to the long-time readers who know the drill), welcome and welcome back, and make yourself at home!

This is OBSCURAE, a digital Magazine where we cannot take anything at face value - yes, it is that deep. We send you our Film reviews from the Festival Circuit and beyond, as well as timely Editorial pieces on the culture, directly to your inbox.

We write for people who love culture the way dudebros love sport: with an overabundant passion. Engaged thinkers who know Culture has the power to change minds, or wave away injustices, or even build movements – and that, therefore, Media Literacy is fundamental. If you have any friends like this who've been looking for the good stuff, the free newsletter signup is at the top of the website, obscurae.co.uk.

If you want to go a step further and support the work we do, you can become a paid subscriber for £5 a month - it keeps OBSCURAE independent, ad-free, and digging deeper into the culture you care about.

Good to have you with us – let's rock,
