Films aren't necessarily something we cover every day on Dazed Digital. There are so many going up in the cinemas throughout the year that we can't keep up with the amount of great flicks on offer. That means that the ones we do pay attention to are special and unique. We try and select a few we feel are relevant to us and to you, our readers. Often we look for an off-beat theme, an interesting director, an impressive film made on a small budget, a topic that we feel is important... or maybe the script and the actors are just too good to ignore!

For us, it's been a great year for films... we've interviewed actors from Hollywood blockbusters as well as indie films, directors and filmmakers behind both documentaries and performance art clips. As with everything else on Dazed Digital, we're looking for inspirational, forward-thinking, honest and hard-hitting films. Here's hoping the next film year will be as good as 2011...
