CULINARY ARTS — Here’s your chance to vote on the first restaurant we should profile in this series
“BIG FOOD - Sushi Shipyards” by Kelcy Timmons Chan - From Issue 12 of Cannopy Magazine

Introducing KITSCHEN: our living postcard to the restaurants, cafés, and culinary spaces that understand this instinctively—where the menu is a design object, the plating is a composition, and the room itself tells you something true about the people who made it. No stars, no rankings. Just the spaces where someone cared enough to make the whole thing beautiful.

We want you to pick the first place we profile!

SIRÂT: Weltschmerz under a Scorching Sun

INTERNATIONAL CINEMA In a world where collective traumas arrive without interval, what tools are we given to mourn together — and who bears the cost when none exist?

Submerged in warm light, carefully stacked speakers are installed like a mountain range mirroring the rocky desert landscape. These speakers are the medium conducting the deep bass, which in turn crafts the dense atmosphere that will unfold throughout the film, a rough-edged techno sound of visceral intensity, provided by composer Kangding Ray. SIRÂT begins with the collective euphoria of a continuous party from night into day, in a remote location of a Moroccan desert. And with this, we immediately dive into the plot where father Luis and son Esteban distribute flyers concerning their missing daughter and sister to the revelers, accompanied by the pulsating score, as it carries us into collective exhaustion.
