A Rabbit’s Foot published by Daylon Hicks
When you look how A Rabbit’s Foot conducts their creativity, it’s is more than a film magazine. It’s an insider’s look at the industry from a current, historical, and international perspective. Based in London since 2022, the team covers stories from all around the world, speaking with artists for in-depth, long-read conversations that they are known for.
Each issue is built around a specific theme, pulling film into conversation with broader cultural questions through relevant interviews, essays, and biographical writing alongside photography, behind-the-scenes images, and film stills. Their content spans four distinct pillars, Film, Art, Culture, and Confessions each functioning as its own editorial lens through which cinema and creativity are examined.
Their ongoing “A Rabbit’s Foot 360” series delivers long-form profiles that go well beyond a standard Q&A. Recent entries include a deep dive into Park Chan-wook chasing the pantheon, Damson Idris profiled as a man for all seasons, and Benny Safdie still doing it for the losers. Their “A Film Lover’s Guide To” series maps cinema across various angles, from sapphic cinema to Greece beyond the weird wave, from the Arabian Nights to the South of France.
Their Art and Photography coverage pushes just as deep. Pieces explore the fragments of David Lynch’s visual art practice, Gus Van Sant’s paintings described as pure cinema, and a frenetic history of Italian Futurism, each finding the connective tissue between image-making across disciplines. On the Culture side, one piece traces the intersection of Cameron Crowe, Joni Mitchell, and Laurel Canyon, while another examines cosmetic surgery in Golden Age Hollywood.
Their Confessions section is where the publication’s soul lives most fully. Recent editions include Robert Towne’s final interview and novelist Siri Hustvedt writing from beyond, the kind of intimate access that no press release could manufacture. As Finch put it, “The world around cinema is about our culture,” and every piece on the site reflects that belief. That purpose, digging past the surface of a film, an artist, or a moment to find what it actually says about the world, is exactly what the Hemingway quote encapsulates. The luck isn’t just in the foot. It’s in knowing it’s still there, scratching at the lining, reminding you to keep looking deeper.
