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 fourteenth issue of A Rabbit’s Foot finally releases this March, ahead of Oscars celebrations.
Issue 14 brings readers to CALIFORNIA, observing all things film, art, and culture, through the eyes of the Golden State’s most brilliant artists. This time, there are four unique collectible covers of Californian icons: Hollywood legend Jeff Bridges; singer-actor Alana Haim, previously seen in One Battle After Another; bestselling author Ottessa Moshfegh, and filmmakers Boots Riley and Charles Burnett, a pioneer of Black cinema, together in conversation.
All make up the issue’s “California Dreamers” chapter, featuring in-depth conversations and personal essays alongside black-and-white photography—some taken by Jim Goldberg. Jeff Bridges shares his rules to life, while Charles Burnett and Boots Riley are recorded speaking by Maya S Cade, head of the Black Film Archive. Alana Haim is profiled for a long-read interview and Ottessa Moshfegh shares, for the first time, a series of humorous emails that led her to move out west.
This specially curated edition covers the many dimensions of California’s spirit, with profiles, essays, and exquisite unseen original photography. There are in-depth conversations with master filmmaker Kathryn Bigelow and actor Michael B Jordan, ahead of the Academy Awards.
Following the success of our previous editions, Issue 14 of A Rabbit’s Foot is once again designed with unique and collectible covers, including new colourways on our masthead and a border with quotes from each of the four cover stars.
