Mubi Notebook Issue 4 - Film Is Definitely Not A "Visual Medium"

Published twice a year, Notebook magazine offers content that reminds us once again of what makes the art of cinema so exciting and impressive. Prepared and published by MUBI, a global online film selection, production company and film distributor dedicated to celebrating cinema, Notebook can be seen as an extension of its aim to bring and promote the seventh art to wider audiences. Featuring famous writers and collaborating with filmmakers and artists with its unique design approach, the magazine brings experimental, philosophical and unexpected approaches to film culture to its readers. In an environment where publications devoted to cinema are decreasing, Notebook aims to convey the tremendous vitality, depth and beauty of cinema.

Issue 4 explores the use of sound in cinema in its many forms. The artists' voices are featured in a wide-ranging conversation between director Gus Van Sant ( Elephant , Milk ), composer Tamar-kali Brown ( Mudbound , The Assistant , Shirley ) and sound designer Leslie Shatz ( Bram Stoker's Dracula , Carol , Blonde ). Additionally, contemporary directors like Garrett Bradley, Erik Matti, and Dominga Sotomayor talk about their approaches to sound. Take a look at accessibility for the visually impaired and what the future holds, and learn about exciting approaches to silent film scores from musician Julia Holter, benshi artist Ichiro Kataoka and pianist Gerhard Gruber. It also takes you on a tour of Skywalker Sound in northern California and a sound effects studio in Ireland. The magnificent “100 Films 100 Posters” project in Jeonju, South Korea, black imitations in American cinema and the “What Filmmakers Need to Know” series with Pedro Costa ( Vitalina Varela ) and more are waiting for you.
