ELECTRIC SHEEP MAGAZINE: SPRING 2009

The spring issue of Electric Sheep focuses on Tainted Love to celebrate the release of the sweet and bloody pre-teen vampire romance Let the Right One In, with articles on incestuous cinematic siblings, François Ozon's tales of tortuous relationships, destructive passion in Nic Roeg's Bad Timing, Julio Medem's ambiguous lovers and nihilistic tenderness from Kôji Wakamatsu. Also in this issue: film in Berlin from squat cinema to the Berlinale, the Polish New Wave, screen vamps, comic strip on the Watchmen film adaptation, and Ipso Facto's top films.

'With its distinctly quirky eye on the arts in all forms, Electric Sheep offers new perspectives on all media that broadens established demographics. Film4 FrightFest certainly noticed how coverage in the magazine and loose partnership helped diversify our audience. All theElectric Sheep platforms were very helpful in establishing a new reach for us and gave our existing base more currency.'

Alan Jones (FrightFest)

‘Electric Sheep marks a refreshing new voice in film publications. Neither too intellectual nor too populist, it offers an intelligent analysis of a broad spectrum of films, filmmakers and filmmaking issues'.

Jason Wood (Picturehouse Cinemas programming coordinator and author of several books on film)

‘Electric Sheep appears to be disinterested in the majority of dull mainstream English language films, carving instead its own path into the areas of cinema less commonly explored, finding themes and memes that are always unique and different.'

Jack Sargeant, author of Deathtripping: the Extreme Underground, Naked Lens: Beat Cinema, Cinema Contra Cinema, etc

‘Electric Sheep is a film magazine for anyone who feels short-changed or left out by the brainless celebrity worship of Empire or the dour academic tones of Sight & Sound. Electric Sheep is idiosyncratic, intelligent, informed and it really knows and cares about cinema. Long may it prosper.'

Tony Herrington, Editor-in-Chief & Publisher, The Wire

‘Kaleidoscopic in its remit and smart enough to realise its readership is even smarter, Electric Sheep magazine, despite the title, is never woolly yet it consistently generates high voltage analysis of the cinematic in the early 21st century that makes its more established competitors seem resolutely necrotic. It is also fun, but seldom is it frivolous.'

Richard Thomas, Content manager, Resonance 104.4FM

'Electric Sheep is a refreshing and original magazine that explores the world of film from myriad angles with wit and imagination.'

Jennifer Higgie, Editor, Frieze

'the coolest magazine in town.'
