The hits keep coming with Pretty Deadly Films. The latest issue of our zine is themed around Bangers, Bops & Needle Drops, the best of music in movies. And while you can get a digital download now for pay-what-you-can prices, if you order a physical copy there’s something even more special in store for you. What’s a magazine without a free gift attached after all? Ask your newsagent.
Illustrator Amy Lauren McGrath has collaborated with Film In Dublin before, designing original art for the Best Films of 2020 and a piece inspired by Scarface for Issue 6 of PDF. The Dublin-based artist, who has worked for the Dublin Inquirer, chocolatiers Bean & Goose and more, has developed some Bonus Tracks for our musically inspired mag, based on movies both Irish and intergalactic.
In addition to the bumper-sized issue, film fans who order a physical copy will receive free postcards and stickers inspired by Ireland’s own Sing Street and The Commitments, as well as sci-fi fun fests Guardians of the Galaxy and Flash Gordon.
It’s a showcase for one of Ireland’s top upcoming artists and a celebration of some stellar soundtracks. With 4 sticker designs and A6 postcard prints available, it truly is an Awesome Mix.
And that’s all in addition to the double-sided Pretty Deadly Films. Our zine celebrates the best of blockbusters, cult hits and fave films, where the pretty and the deadly do things that are pretty deadly. On film.
