ISSUE 1: pirate.lov3r.2024.mkv
Issue 1 highlights Khmer and Filipino perspectives on piracy, where the culture is prevalent and the norm. The issue raises the question of our viewing habits—our downloading, sharing, and “stealing.” The images and stories featured here come from filmmakers and viewers. In this first issue, twenty pieces interlace one other through essays, interviews, experimental pieces, stories, comics, and urban photographs.
FIND A COPY ISSUE 0: In Birth of Lost Time 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. A writeup on distribution and piracy teases the next issue’s topic on the last page.
On the flipside, a poster artwork by Maylee Keo synthesizes cinematic references from both Cambodian and Filipino cinema.
