Filter (stylized as FILTER), an entertainment magazine on American music, was founded in the summer of 2002.[1] It featured commentary, photos of musicians and filmmakers, actors, writers, and directors. The magazine also included reviews of upcoming albums and DVDs. FILTER's final issue was published in June 2014.

The magazine was published seasonally, five times each year. Typically, it focused on indie music, on occasion covering established artists in long-form interviews.

A variety of individuals collaborated on FILTER, including Alan Miller (entrepreneur) and Alan Sartirana (the publishers), Pat McGuire (the editor-in-chief), Breanna Murphy (the associate editor), and Melissa Simonian (the layout designer).

The magazine initiated the seasonal festival Culture Collide (hosted by Collide). Miller founded Collide after he founded Filter.[1]

Miller and Sartirana parted ways in 2014. However, Sartirana, McGuire, and Simonian joined with several members of the FILTER staff to found FLOOD magazine, a quarterly entertainment publication.[2]
