28 pages. A5. Perfect bound. Full colour. Soft touch cover. Limited, hand numbered edition of 250.

Available only in the UK (for now…). Collection available only if pre-agreed with the what about birdy team.

A time (film!) capsule into cinema through the ages – in an age where we live increasingly in the immediate, Film Capsule is an invitation to look back on timeless classics and forgotten gems, and indulge in a little nostalgia for films we still treasure.

The premise is simple – one year, one edition. And – because it’s more fun – in no particular order!

In this first issue, twenty collaborators – writers, artists, film lovers – reflect on films from the year 2003. Read about your favourites, or discover something new – and let’s celebrate film together, one year at a time!
