EXQUISITE CINEMA
We’re inviting our readers to join us on an interactive adventure. Notebook magazine’s Exquisite Cinema is a new collaborative feature in which we make imaginary movies together, image by image.
Please send us an original photograph (analog or digital) to propose as the opening shot to an imagined film. We’ll choose and print three of the most evocative submissions in Issue 7, setting in motion three parallel visual stories that will continue in subsequent issues.
Over time, and through an associative chain of imagery, three chimeric, evolving films-in-print will take shape by the logic of the Surrealists’ “exquisite corpse” game.
We hope that this unusual form of movie-making will be a way to bring our readers together, and, by combining contrasting ideas and images from all around the world, will enable the creation of something unexpected and new.
Submit your photograph via this form by March 1, 2025, to allow time for the selection of images ahead of the production of Issue 7. Please review all details below.
