Last month, Cahiers du Cinema produced its 700th issue, a major milestone for a niche and avant-garde publication of scholarly, political, and critical cinema writings which came out of the socio-political upheaval in Paris in the 1960s. For those of us who had to read it in school or idly picked up a copy from a newsstand in Paris, this can be a moving and profound thought, given that Cahiers has spanned several generations of filmmakers, critics, students, and artistic movements….and engaged us in endless debates on the auteur theory. And so, in this issue, appropriately titled “Emotion,” editor Stephane Delorme calls upon us to “describe, in its physical dimension, an emotion that went through you and the moment of cinema (gesture, dramatic situation….) that triggered it.” Click here for details and email the editorial team at 700@cahiersducinema.com.
