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 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.

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.
