“Who are we and what is our quest?”

“We are gourmets, guides, and knights.

“We are gourmets because we like good cooks: people who can turn a few basic ingredients into something extraordinary for other's delicate and often demanding palates. This first issue will deal with those excellent cooks that are independent filmmakers, having to deal with limited resources and confronted to high expectations. Just like your auntie preparing the best Nasi Goreng in the world.

“We are guides because we have been traveling the ways of movies in many directions, hanging out in the dark rooms of local theaters, in the erudite spheres of the cinematheques, in the festivals for the most lucky of us, and let's admit it, in front of computer's screen waiting for the torrents to be downloaded. Hours after hours. We have seen it almost all and we like to share it with others. (Not the torrents, but the excitement!) Showing you the unnoticed details that make sense. You know, like the statues in 'Angels and Demons'. (But rest assured, we don't live in Vatican'.)

“We are knights because, come on! We are starting a paper-only magazine in the age of internet, about independent cinema, without subventions and formal link to any film distributors. It is a work of resistance, of guerilla. Yeah! Once a masochist, always a masochist! Or on more positive perspective: the key to freedom, and the price to pay! And we didn't forget that Mr. Wayne who reminded us that: with great power comes great responsibility.

“Our quest: to find the Grail of course! That movie which speaks to our heads and hearts. (Admittedly, the other way around is fine as well.) That filmmakers who will not only make you learn to make movies, but also make you learn to think. Those people who organize alternative distribution networks and viewing opportunities. Those ideas that put back the thinking in the viewing, that help discerned gold from lead.”
