Sequence was a shortlived but influential British film journal founded in 1947 by Lindsay Anderson, Gavin Lambert and Karel Reisz.

Anderson had returned to Oxford after his time with the army in Delhi, Lambert was a schoolfriend of Anderson from Cheltenham College who had dropped out of English at Magdalene College on discovering that he would have to study Middle English under C. S. Lewis, while Reiz was a chemistry graduate from Emmanuel College, Cambridge who later said "I met Lindsay Anderson on a Green Line bus. I was going to the British Film Institute to look at some film for my editing book and he was going to see Ford's The Iron Horse."

Founded as the Film Society Magazine, the organ of the Oxford Film Society, in 1947, with Penelope Houston as its first editor, the journal quickly changed its name to Sequence, and produced fourteen issues between 1947 and 1952. The British Free Cinema movement, co-founded in 1956 by Lindsay Anderson, Karel Reisz, Tony Richardson and Lorenza Mazzetti, drew on the principles first expressed by the journal.
