I’m completely amazed by Little Joe, a new biannual queer film magazine from London that arrived in my mailbox yesterday. The zine is run by a guy called Sam Ashby, who in the introduction describes it as “a direct move away from the traditional method of reviewing all current and future releases towards a more selective and eclectic focus on films that inspire alternative discourse”. Amongst a lot of other stuff the first issue features two interviews with Tom Kalin (“Swoon”) and Jack Hazan (“A Bigger Splash”), an introduction to the work of Fred Halsted, an experimental porn film maker from the seventies (L.A. Plays Itself”) written by artist William E Jones, a longer essay about the relationship between the early eighties movies “Amercan Gigolo” and “Cruising“, and a series of photographs of child star Noah Hathaway presented by Stuard Sandford. And a beautiful layout. You can order the magazine here, I highly recommend it.
