Vertigo Magazine began production in 1993. Originally founded and edited by the innovative documentary filmmaker Marc Karlin, it has stood the test of time and kept a lively, creative and diverse readership informed about the work of the independent film and video sectors across the world.

Vertigo is a unique project which champions innovation and diversity in form and culture for independent film and the moving image. Through its magazine, website and special events, Vertigo engages audiences, educators, students and practitioners, introducing new work and critical debate.

Vertigo Magazine collaborated with Iniva to produce The Vertigo Talks; a series of discussions that consider how images relate to place and what they can do - politically, culturally and as a form of opposition.
