Congratulations to Is Not Magazine for their Premiers Design Award

Premier's Communications Design Prize - Winner
Stuart Geddes and Jeremy Wortsman
Is Not Magazine (Year 1, Issues 1-6)

Is Not Magazine is a bimonthly publication, to be encountered on selected inner city walls. Initiated by five Melbournians as an experiment in design and publishing, Is Not fosters a new form of reading by attracting passers-by to begin reading a story and finish it at another Is Not Magazine location, all-the-while discussing the content with other readers. The overriding strategy for the content and design of Is Not Magazine is to uncover, investigate and promote pluralism.
 
Published as a 2 x 1.5m bill poster and distributed to 50 street sites in and around Melbourne's CBD and inner suburbs, it also appears in bars, cafes and bookstores in Sydney and several cities in Europe, as well as online. The publication is a little bit zine, a little bit newspaper, a poster and a magazine. It mainly exists in advertising space, but carries no advertising. Yet it turns into an ad: for complexity, for pluralism and for itself. It is a map of the city, its inhabitants and their ideas. Each issue has two themes (seeing/believing, habit/addiction, Stones vs Beatles), which act as a catalyst for uncovering grey areas of meaning through a wide array of content.
 
Is Not co-founders Jeremy Wortsman and Stuart Geddes both are designers and educators. Jeremy is originally from New York, where he first became involved in editorial design. A co-founder of acclaimed design practice Studio Anybody, Stuart is currently the Art Director of Monument Magazine and a postgraduate student in Communication Design at RMIT University.

Wednesday, November 8 - 7:30pm HUNT ANGELS [M] + Alec Morgan (writer/director) & Sue Maslin (producer) Greater Union Russell Street Cinemas 131 Russell St (cnr Bourke St) Melbourne HUNT ANGELS [M] Join director Alec Morgan (Dusty Hearts, Lousy Little Sixpence) and producer Sue Maslin (Japanese Story, Road to Nhill) following a preview of their brilliantly innovative new film HUNT ANGELS on Wednesday November 8th, 7.30pm at Popcorn Taxi's next screening at Greater Union Russell Street Cinemas . Starring Ben Mendelsohn (Idiot Box, The Big Steal, The Year My Voice Broke) and Victoria Hill (Macbeth), HUNT ANGELS fuses drama and documentary using live action, archival footage, animation, graphics and digital composite techniques never before seen in an Australian feature film to tell the story of a remarkable episode of Australian cinema history.

HUNT ANGELS is the true story of 1930s Australian film industry outlaws Rupert Kathner (Mendelsohn) and Alma Brooks (Victoria Hill), who began a movie-making spree that took on Hollywood barons, a police commissioner and the cultural cringe, all in their passionate pursuit to make Australian films. On the run from the police across thousands of miles, they would stop at almost nothing to get their films made. Along the way Australian cinema's Bonnie & Clyde wrote, directed, edited produced and starred in landmark films including, 'The Pyjama Girl Murder Case' - the first true crime movie ever made in Australia.

HUNT ANGELS is a film dedicated to anyone who has ever fought for their dreams.
