Current Issue
Festivals, Political Cinema and Academy Award Best Pictures
A triple issue with a wide range of subjects, including Festival reports (Sundance, Istanbul Film Festival, Leeds Film Festival), recent Nordic cinema, reviews of some Best Film Academy Award nominations (Barbie, The Zone of Interest, American Fiction, Poor Things), a companion piece of sorts to Poor Things, Athina Rachel Tsangari's bizarrely eccentric short The Capsule, and politically themed essays (the films of Laura Poitras, recent Palestinian films, the satirical films of Aleksei German), and other related articles.
