ISSUE 2: Traces

Traces is about what has passed and what is becoming.

Traces hint yet also mislead. They signal the future and the past.

If there is a trace of a film, it means it has been lost and is being pursued.

The traces of sound leave an impact as visceral as the haptics of movement to the viewer.

Traces are marks. Sketches. Trails. Semi-identities.

A trace is memory personified. It’s strong, faulty, implanted, and blurry.

Traces are an absence of presence.

ISSUE 1: pirate.lov3r.2024.mkv
Issue 1 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.

Separated into eight panels, the issue starts with fragments on Cambodian cinema and local magazines. Then, the panels expand to two interviews from Polen Ly and Sam Manacsa. Lastly, a writeup on distribution and piracy teases the next issue’s topic.

On the flipside, a poster artwork by Maylee Keo synthesizes cinematic references from both Cambodian and Filipino cinema.
