This Is Cinématographe: A Journal of American Cinema - Spring 2026

Best issue yet!

With an interview of David Byrne, and articles about Allan Moyle’s new-wave masterpiece Times Square, and a look at Gene Hackman, this issue had me reading from cover yo cover in one sitting…something previous issues had failed to do! (And those issues weren’t bad! I just have the attention of a gnat. ) Keep up the great work!

More Fanzines from VS

Another edition of this fanzine (not sure it should really count as a fanzine if it’s produced by a professional boutique disk company tbh - fanzine isn’t a format, it’s an ethos - although I’ll let it go because the contributors are fan writers) focusing on the output and focus of the Cinématographe label. Didn’t pick this up immediately as it was labelled ‘Spring 2026’ (perfectly correctly) but the last issue (issue 3) was incorrectly/confusingly labelled Winter 2026. It’s usual flavour and mixture of stuff. Issue 3 is my favourite as it has an article by Sean Abley in it, but this has an interview with David Byrne in it, which is cool.

A full year
