A Rabbit's Foot Issue 7 - Spirit of the West

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.

Welcome to Issue 7 of A Rabbit’s Foot!

This issue we explore the influence of the Spirit of the West across film, art and culture. In over 300 pages, there are interviews and contributions from trailblazers Martin Scorsese, Clint Eastwood, Jeff Bridges, Emily Blunt, Willem Dafoe, Alice Rohrwacher, Luna Carmoon, Richard Prince, Ramy Youssef, and Viggo Mortensen.

Featured beside their words are unseen, original photographs and shoots that immortalise the Spirit of the West, as well as essays from famous writers and commentators on the likes of Rita Hayworth, Georgia O’Keeffe, Sidney Poitier’s Western, Buck and the Preacher, P.J. Clarke’s in New York, and the legendary Giorgio’s boutique in Beverly Hills.
