For those who stay
after the credits.
AVOOLITÉ is a print magazine of interviews, portraits and long-form stories, published in special editions at the world’s major film festivals. The festival is the point of access. The magazine is the interpretation.
Cinema is the door. Culture is the territory. People are the story.
A festival lasts a few days. An edition is what remains of it: the conversations, the faces and the questions that were in the room.
Cinema is our central lens, not our limit. The magazine follows it into art, leadership, image and influence, and to the people and institutions shaping culture now.
We publish fewer subjects and give them more room. A famous name is not a reason on its own; the question is always what someone’s story reveals.
Three forms,
one voice.
Interviews
Conversations that go past the biography, toward decisions, contradictions and what someone believes.
Portraits
People photographed where the work happens: on stage, on the carpet, before and after the screening.
Long-form stories
Reporting that asks what a moment means, not only what happened.
From the festival
to the page.
The festival
Each edition starts from one festival and the question it raises that year.
The reporting
We work in the room: screenings, stages, press lines and the conversations around them.
The selection
Fewer stories, chosen for what they reveal, then written, photographed and edited as one issue.
The object
Designed and printed as a single publication, and handed out during the festival.
What we
hold to.
- Every quote is attributed: who said it, where, and when.
- Every photograph carries its photographer’s credit.
- Partnerships and advertising are always marked as such.
- Nothing is presented as fact until it has been checked.
- Access is a starting point, never the story on its own.
