Hello and welcome to the Stack.
For this week's show we feature a brand new film publication from the team behind New York cinema, Metrograph Plus Jeremy Leslie from Mac Culture Reviews the year for magazines and photographer Tyler Mitchell.
Enjoy the show.
From Midori Housing London, this is the stack.
30 minutes of print industry analysis and I am Fernando Gusto Pacheco.
We start the show with exciting news from Metrograph, the stunning New York movie theater.
Founded in 2016 with a touch of the 1920s, it is one of the best places in the city to watch a movie.
The Independent cinema also just launched a brand new film publication featuring long form interviews, intimate portraits of film technicians at work, and plenty of great movie essays.
The first issue includes an interview with Clint Eastwood, an essay on Filipino action movies and more.
It was a pleasure talking to the Metrograph's senior editor, Annabelle Brady Brown and editor at large Nick Pinkerton.
So the Metrograph is a beloved iconic Manhattan theater where we play classics, new releases, archival prints.
It's started in 2016 and it's a really special place.
I'm very happy to work here.
You get to come on the weekend and contrary to some of the narratives about what's going on in cinema, you walk in, it's a beautiful theater and it's absolutely filled with all sort of young people, old people, people from all sorts of background discovering cinema, revisiting movies they love.
And then we also have a beautiful bookstore, we have a bar and a restaurant.
So people come and sort of hang out and stay and really feel part of a community here.
And so the magazine is just a really natural extension of that.
Nick, I wonder how was the process to say, hey, we actually need a magazine for it.
Did it make sense?
Was that one of those ideas?
