Here is a zine (and I’m hesitant to even call it that) which is enjoyable, educational and necessary all at the same time. What is it about, you ask? Well, it’s a journal of independent cinematic events in Canada, ranging from Alan Zweig’s haunting documentary Vinyl, to Blain Thurier’s work on the West Coast, to pornography and place in independent cinema. My favourite article was the one about one of the editors’ discovery of the music industry, and all of the things that come out of that. Anyway, Moving Picture Views is an excellent little publication. The editors apologize, in the introduction, for the new issue coming out so late…but seriously, when the end result is this good, you don’t really care about deadlines. (Anthony Gerace)
