MUBI Notebook: Vol 6 - Premium Hardcover Journal for Writing, Sketching & Note Taking | Perfect Gift for Artists, Writers & Students | Ideal for Daily Journaling, Creative Projects & Office Use

Product Description

• Published twice a year, Notebook magazine provides a curated vision of what makes the art of the cinema exciting and moving. Created, prepared, and published by MUBI, the global distributor and curated film streaming service, it is an editorially independent extension of MUBI’s mission of expanding access to and advocating for the seventh art. With a design-forward approach, featuring renowned international writers and collaborating with filmmakers and artists, the magazine is a showcase for experimental, reflective, and surprising approaches to film culture, engaging with it creatively and through diverse viewpoints and methods. In a cultural landscape of fewer and fewer magazines devoted to film, Notebook boldly encapsulates and embodies the tremendous vitality, relevance, and beauty of the cinema.
• Ah, to be young! Issue 6 is dedicated to different expressions of youth in cinema, a time of surprise, invention, rebellion, and hope for the future. In a cross-generational feature, a group of parents curate a short film program and share the reactions (and drawings) of their own children. Plunging bravely into the madcap “microcinematic” world of videos found across TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram feeds, filmmaker Nikita Lavretski provides a critical guide to one day’s intense viewing; in another artist contribution, Fox Maxy handwrites an inspiring letter to her younger self.
• Other features include academic Christopher Holliday on digital de-aging, visual artist Jonas Staal on product placement’s childhood targets, critic Philippa Snow on teenage fascination with visual extremity, and writer Adam Wray on bootleg movie merchandise. In a roundtable feature, the makers and voices of the animated series Daria tell Claire Marie Healy how they channeled teenage disaffection, and participants and teachers share photographs and memories from New York’s impactful Young Filmaker’s Foundation. Writer and director Durga Chew-Bose pinpoints cinematic moments that evoke a timeless childhood, and a selection of poems by avant-gardist Shūji Terayama, written when he was a young adult in mid-century Japan, further attest to the enduring fire of youth. 
• Elsewhere in the magazine, Amalia Ulman and Payal Kapadia continue our multi-issue series “Things a Filmmaker Should Know,” the revelation of rare and restored imagery marks the centennial of Sergei Parajanov’s birth, and an unsung but brilliant special effects pioneer is given his due.
