Paper cinema and cinema on paper: Inspiration and the making of the fifth issue of NANG magazine

NANG is a biannual print-only magazine dedicated to cinema and cinema culture in the Asian
world. Launched in 2016, each and every issue of NANG is structured around a specific theme and
created in collaboration with a unique group of guest editors and contributors based both within
and outside Asia. This talk will first chart some of the main elements of this independent
publishing project—giving particular emphasis to its aim and scope and, more broadly, to the
dialogues between cinema and the printed page—and will then move to discuss the fifth issue of
NANG, which is centred around the theme of “Inspiration.”

Speaker: Mr Davide Cazzaro

Moderator: Dr Aaron Han Joon Magnan-Park
