AVAILABLE PUBLICATIONS | CÁC ẤN PHẨM CÓ SẴN

MARG1N Issue 1: pirate.lov3r.2024.mkv – Cambodia & The Philippines

Issue 1, titled “pirate.lov3r.2024.mkv” highlights Khmer and Filipino perspectives on piracy as part of our cinema culture. The issue raises the question of our viewing habits—our downloading, sharing, and stealing. Not only images and stories from those behind and in front of the camera, but those that come in contact at the end: us, the audience. Film piracy culture is one that is prevalent, because we’re so embedded in the norm. It’s addressed in this first issue between Cambodia and the Philippines, which will have twenty pieces interlacing each other. The content is composed of film essays, interviews, experimental pieces, stories, comics, and urban photographs. Words from filmmakers, actors, critics, editors, and viewers.

MARG1N Issue 2: Traces – Singapore & Vietnam

Traces are fragmentary by nature. You can never deduce a comprehensive view from a trace. Traces gesture, shock, defy, and aspire toward a greater truth than their whole existence. In some way, a film is also a collection of traces, with the hope of invoking in its viewers a sense of wonder and resonance that makes us pause, perhaps rewatch, and rethink certain rigidities. The writings that we have worked with in this issue embody that generative power of traces.
