A uniquely structured magazine that can be read from both sides, each issue compares two thematically linked films, uncovering their hidden connections. Through in-depth analysis of storytelling, visuals, and sound, the magazine explores how these films mirror and contrast each other, culminating in a splash page where they visually collide. This centerpiece doubles as a detachable, hangable poster, reinforcing the concept of duality and interaction. The current issue examines Alien and The Abyss, drawing parallels between space and the ocean, isolation and survival, terror and salvation, and the power of orchestral music. By blending film critique with bold design, the magazine offers a fresh, immersive way to engage with cinema.

Overview

This magazine is designed to be read from both sides, offering two perspectives on thematically linked films. Each issue explores a pair of films, analyzing their similarities and contrasts across themes like storytelling, atmosphere, and symbolism. For the current issue, Alien and The Abyss are examined through themes such as life and death, the silence of space and the ocean, isolation, technology (spaceship vs. submarine), fear, salvation, and orchestral scores. The magazine culminates in a dynamic splash page where the two films visually and conceptually collide—this page doubles as a detachable, hangable poster. The design and editorial structure enhance the duality, allowing readers to experience each film’s narrative separately before reaching their point of intersection. This immersive format transforms film analysis into an interactive, visually compelling experience.
