‘Unconventional cinematic adventures’
A film magazine that explores crucial elements of cinema often marginalised or overlooked, using an eclectic mix of commissioned illustration to bring them to life. Originally more focussed on the illustrations, the writing now matches them in quality.
This is the Journeys and Destinations Issue, covering ‘long-term relationships and the sauntering lives of ‘Slackers’ to time-travel and revisiting road-trips from hell.’ Includes the movies ‘Planes, Trains and Automobiles,’ ‘The Brutalist,’ ‘Personal Shopper,’ and more, with art by Sergio Membrillas, Michelle Perez and Estaban Plazibat among others.
