127Nuova Accademia Di Belli Arti
Introducing 127, a magazine that works as a compilation of art films. This issue digs into the science fiction genre. The name 127 is inspired by one of the earliest camera film formats, the 127 film.
This issue is divided into two sections. The first explores the foundations of the sci-fi genre, tracing its development over time and the core elements that make it so compelling. The second section is a compilation of films made with limited budgets, emphasizing how constraints fuel creativity. This section highlights how minimal resources drive storytelling ingenuity, offering insights into crafting visionary, futuristic worlds.
With striking images, the key sci-fi elements and creative decisions of the directors are explained. The issue features a Swiss minimalist style, echoing the futuristic, utopian ideals of sci-fi. The exposed spine reinforces this minimalism and the paper, Usomano Bianca, follows the clean design choice of the magazine.
