A Rabbit's Foot Issue 12 - Sanctuary

A Rabbit's Foot is a British-based quarterly printed film and art bookazine, founded and edited by the film producer and businessman Charles Finch. Finch hosts the Oscars, Cannes, and BAFTA dinners and has long-standing connections to the film industry.

Established as an “insider’s look at the industry, from a current, historical and international perspective” with a premium, handmade feel, A Rabbit’s Foot aims to be a cerebral companion for those curious about arts and films, with a consumer-facing focus. Each quarterly edition is themed around a cultural motif (such as French cinema or Politics and Film) and contains interviews, essays and biographical writing around that chosen topic, alongside photography, behind the scene-images and film stills.

The 12th issue of A Rabbit’s Foot is about the crossover between the arts and SANCTUARY—a home known or found, a place of escape, or contentment and inspiration.

Our cover star Isabelle Huppert meets us in her own sanctuary: the cinema, for an exclusive interview that follows her career and passion for film, and mystifying original photography in Paris.

We also spend time with John Malkovich, discussing wine-making in Provence and filmmaker Celine Song in New York ahead of Materialists. Our writer joins artist Emily Young at her Tuscan retreat and hitches a car with author Rachel Kushner through France. Brazilian veteran Fernando Meirelles talks sustainability and City of God, while Harris Dickinson ruminates on London and directing his first feature.

Among these deeply informative, human interviews are essays on VS Naipaul by Aatish Taseer and a look at Graham Greene’s sanctuary: Capri.

All of this and much more compose Issue 12 of A Rabbit’s Foot—a 200-plus page compendium of meaningful stories that bring readers across the cultural spectrum in a single beautifully-designed volume.
