just another cinema

An anniversary publication for the Taiwan International Women's Film Festival, where every design choice, from the ticket bookmark to the blue thread through the spine, is doing quiet, intentional work. Produced for the Taiwan International Women's Film Festival's 30th anniversary, just another cinema is a publication that earns its restraint. The cover pulls "#her" from "another," a quiet typographic act that roots the book's intent in its own title. The volume is deliberately thin. That lightness is part of the argument, the complexity of women's issues resisting easy containment. A cut-out cover and a ticket-shaped bookmark work together: pull it to the right, and a full Maya Deren quote appears. The gesture is small and precise, time revealing something that was always there. A single light blue thread runs through the entire book, from the exposed spine stitching through the contents page, article titles, and section breaks. It is the blue of a projector beam, the halo that appears on screen before an image does. The cinema comes into the book. The book becomes the room. 台灣國際女性影展為慶祝三十週年，特別獻上 《她的電影意識史》 出版計劃。書冊設計化繁為簡，封面從 "another" 擷取 "#her" 點亮主題，窺探關於「她」的歷史、「她」的文化，將豐厚史料濃縮於書名之中。開本厚度捨重就輕，暗示女性議題難以用言詞概括的本質。 封面上的切口設計、票券形狀的書籤，向右抽取逐字揭開，即可見完整文句 "Time is built into her body in the sense of becomingness." - Maya Deren，一如女性影展經過時光更迭、幻化而生生不息。 從裸背穿線延續至目錄、文章標題、分隔頁漸層各處點綴的淡藍色，象徵放映時螢幕上投影的藍色光暈，將戲院體驗帶入書中。
