2004 Editorial Calendar

January/February (Volume 7, #1)
Random Shuffle: Storytelling in the New Millennium
Gus Van Sant, Lars Von Trier and Alejandro Iñarritu are only a handful of storytellers radically retooling the traditional narrative feature film, moving away from the straightforward, linear tales to temporally disjointed, even repetitive, storylines. This issue looks at storytelling across all media, from games to music to video art and new fiction. Articles will include a look at new voices and trends in screenwriting, with profiles of five new screenwriters to watch; the best video game stories; database narratives; flash magazines; new short fiction geniuses; and more.

March/April (Volume 7, #2)
The Young and the Restless: New Talent

Trespassing: The Travel Issue
A certain wanderlust infects a new generation of artists, who lug laptops and cameras around the world... The travel issue.

All the Rage Continuing the discussion started a year ago, we return to the topic of resistance in its myriad forms, with special attention to the divide between portraits of apocalypse and rage versus strategies of hope.
