Sophie Monks Kaufman

SMK began editing this site after three months of sitting in a windowless room (for work. She is not Batman, whatever the rumours say). The opportunity it now presents to run all over the city, looking untidy and drinking wine in all manner of intriguing places will balance the ‘period of enclosure’ nicely.

To assure you that she is not an escaped convict who has blackmailed the founding editor of The London Word into attaining this position, Sophie is about to get earnest. She is nuts about film and has written on the subject for The Guardian, Total Film, Little White Lies and Eye for Film amongst others. She has an abiding love for bleak Bavarian, Werner Herzog and daring Dane, Lars von Trier but the real joy of cinema is in its limitless possibilities. If you feel the same way, she would like to talk to you some day.
