Notebook by Mubi • Issue 1

Notebook magazine is an extension of MUBI’s advocacy for the art of cinema. The publication is a new platform aiming at opening up cinema’s present, past, and future to both new and existing audiences. Each issue features original contributions by artists, writers, filmmakers, and scholars about a unique and eclectic array of cinematic subjects, including sections devoted to new openings around the world: theaters, galleries, and exhibition venues. Cinematic beginnings approached from unexpected angles.

- Close-up look at the celluloid collection of the Centre Pompidou in Paris
