Far Out Magazine is a British online culture magazine, headquartered in London and founded in 2010.[1] Far Out focuses on independent and alternative culture, reviewing music, films and the arts along with relative interviews and curated playlists.[2][3][4]

History[]

Far Out Magazine was founded in 2010 by Lee Thomas-Mason, then a student of Leeds Metropolitan University. Shortly after, Jack Whatley became an editor of the website as both pushed the content into new directions.[5][6] Lee Thomas-Mason had previously worked as a sports reporter at Sky Sports, The Mirror and Metro (British newspaper).[7]

While first focusing on unsigned artists and independent music venues with a Gonzo journalism approach, Far Out expanded into coverage of cinema in 2013 and, subsequently, included curated travel, arts and photography sections.[8][9]

In 2017 Far Out Magazine partnered with suicide prevent charity CALM.[10]

In 2021, Far Out Magazine also confirmed a media partnership with the British Film Institute (BFI), focusing on the work of Hong Kong film director Wong Kar-wai.
