or 'channel' as we say to our arts council here in Englang...

We are pleased to announce that the 'launch' issue of Engine is now
live.

A new digital channel exploring the intersection and crossover
between diverse areas of independent moving image practice.

Engine is a unique and provocative space - to encounter, engage with,
and discuss, different creative and critical ideas.
Our rolling editorial will include interviews, features, films,
trailers, slideshows and lots more visual content. And we're
encouraging contribution, comment and debate.
