Notebook is a publication dedicated to cinema art and culture, created as an extension of indie cinema streaming platform, MUBI. Physically, it’s a beautiful thing: with its matt pages, expressive typography and plenty of colourful stills. The team behind Notebook hope to celebrate, explore, appreciate and analyse the beauty of film. It’s a lovely addition to our film mag selection. The seventh issue delves into the theme of the ‘unfilmable’, examining ‘both its practical and metaphysical’ aspects through a series of conceptual film scripts by Yoko Ono, and Guy Maddin’s striking collages for a film of psychosexual impossibility. Beyond that, this edition also covers conservation-focused, consciously anthropological filmmaking, featuring a collaboration between an archivist and Indigenous Australian communities, and demonstrates Deborah Stratman’s exploration of light models—just take a look at the cover! mubi.com/notebook
