Metrograph is proud to unveil The Metrograph, a new biannual print publication for cinephiles and cultural connoisseurs alike. Known for curating unforgettable cinematic experiences at their Manhattan theater and through their At Home streaming platform and online Journal, Metrograph extends its mission into the realm of print, delivering a carefully crafted, stylish print object that celebrates cinema unabashedly. Designed by Matt Willey at the acclaimed firm Pentagram, this publication is crafted to be treasured, collected, and shared by readers all around the world.
Featuring exclusive cover artwork by the renowned cinematographer Ed Lachman, Issue 1 boasts contributions from a remarkable lineup. A sneak peek: novelist Yiyun Li, cartoonist Daniel Clowes, filmmakers Ari Aster, Amalia Ulman, and Ryusuke Hamaguchi, critics Hunter Harris and Thora Siemsen, writer Lucy Sante, cult writer/actor Cookie Mueller, actors Steve Martin and Simon Rex, and many more. Readers can also look forward to The Metrograph Interview #1, where Nick Pinkerton engages the 94-year-old pop culture icon Clint Eastwood in a rare, career-spanning conversation.
Led by the editorial team of Senior Editor Annabel Brady-Brown (co-founder Fireflies Press), Editors Gabriel Jandali Appel (writer, founding business manager The Drift) and Kelli Weston (critic), and Editor-At-Large Nick Pinkerton (critic; screenwriter The Sweet East), with invaluable input from the entire Metrograph staff, The Metrograph embraces great film in all its forms. It promises a rich blend of eclectic content, offering longform interviews, artist portfolios, thought-provoking essays from leading voices in the worlds of art and literature, and intimate profiles of film technicians at work, accompanied by striking original commissioned photography and illustrations. A unique and highly curated publication, its content strikes a perfect balance: seductive yet sophisticated, sharp and rigorous, playful, and fun.
Christian Grass, Metrograph CEO, says, “We are excited to see Metrograph continue to grow and evolve. We are now reaching a national audience with our online streaming platform Metrograph At Home, and our distribution arm, Metrograph Pictures, while maintaining the core values of community and curation that make 7 Ludlow such a beloved institution. This beautiful new print publication is the logical next step in Metrograph’s evolution.”
Annabel Brady-Brown added, “We’re delighted to announce The Metrograph and to be bringing a new print film publication into the world. Much like the way our Ludlow Street theater debuted at a time when many cinemas were shuttering and quickly reversed the trend, becoming a pioneering force in film culture and an incredibly popular destination, we believe readers are hungry for a publication like The Metrograph that treats film with both intelligence and panache, and that film culture is actually alive and kicking.”
The Metrograph magazine is now available for pre-order HERE and will be on shelf in bookstores on Tuesday, December 10th. The inaugural issue is priced at $25, or $15 for Metrograph Members with free domestic shipping. The issue will also be available to purchase at Metrograph and from bookstores around the world.
