Die Cahiers jetzt auch auf Englisch!

Gute Nachrichten für alle nicht frankophonen Filmfreunde, die ich da gerade in meiner Inbox gefunden habe: die Cahiers du Cinéma gibt es jetzt auch online und auf Englisch, und zwar dort:

-Cahiers du cinema, n°0.

Dear friends, We invite you to discover the “issue zero” of e-Cahiers du cinema. The “e” stands for “electronic,” as well as for “English.” Like every test issue, the example on line is a slender prototype – ten or so articles, twenty or so pages – drawn from the February newsstand issue of Les Cahiers.The March, 2007 issue will be the first to be published simultaneously in French on paper and, in its entirety, in English at www.e-cahiersducinema. com. This issue will arrive on newsstands on March 7 and on line on March 9. This double evolution of Les Cahiers (the paper magazine plus the magazine on line, the French magazine plus the English edition) comes in response to the two great movements of our times, toward digital distribution and toward the globalization of the media.The internet version of the magazine will give us access to a new mode of distribution as well as a new approach to criticism, by opening up the possibilities of hypermedia.To publish in English, of course, is a way ofreaching a large number of new readers, but we hope it will also be a way of making a different voice heard in the world — a way of proposing a fresh, rigorous and contemporary approach to the cinema and its place in present-day culture.We hope you will find it valuable. Les Cahiers du cinéma
