''Trois Couleurs'' (''Three Colors'') is a Paris-based monthly magazine which focuses on culture, cinema and technology. It is edited by the French broadcasting group MK2 and its title pays tribute to the trilogy "Three Colors" of Krzysztof Kieślowski. It is distributed only in Paris: in MK2 movie theaters, the Fnac network of Paris, and in 250 cultural places, restaurants, bars, concert halls, and museums. ''Trois Couleurs'' reaches 600,000 readers with a total circulation of 200,000. Most of the content is dedicated to cinema and to the promotion of independent films with interviews of directors like Jim Jarmusch or Frederick Wiseman. The editorial policy claims to analyze complicated cultural phenomenon in a simple way in order to suit a readership as wide as can be the audience of a movie theater. == History == At first, ''Trois Couleurs'' was only dedicated to the current affairs of MK2 movie theaters. In 2007, editor Elisha Karmitz reshaped the magazine and widened the editorial policy in order to make a proper cultural magazine out of ''Trois Couleurs''. Thus, it was a perfect illustration of a consumer turning into a media.〔(Interview: Elisha Karmitz, directeur de MK2 Agency )〕 Moreover, an extension of the distribution systems to 250 cultural places, restaurants, bars, concert halls and museums in Paris accompanied this change. The 50th issue of ''Trois Couleurs'' was the first issue published into the reshaped form: there were only 56 pages.〔(MK2 donne une nouvelle jeunesse à 'Trois Couleurs' )〕 The magazine claimed to share an independent look at trends and news in the cultural sector which was conveyed by topics like « Cult Scene », which gave the audience to ''read'' a scene which changed the way of making movies. Therefore, the editorial staff offered a very subjective and personal analysis of film and cultural events: for example, it always gave « 3 reasons to see () movie ». Thus, ''Trois Couleurs'' strengthened its relationship with the readership : the readers were in fact very important to the editorial policy, so a page was dedicated to the publication of pieces of art related to cinema drawn by some of the readers. ''Trois Couleurs '' developed a practical approach of the events. Besides, the magazine became influent due to the broadcasting of videos of concerts, interviews and documentaries.〔http://press.dailymotion.com/fr/wp-content/uploads/CP_Trois_Couleurs_040708.pdf〕 The editorial staff flew to Detroit to shoot a documentary on Motown Records〔(Tracks of my tears - 50 ans de Motown )〕 and directed the video of a concert of Mos Def at Élysée Montmartre in 2007〔(Mos Def live in Paris )〕 which was broadcast on Dailymotion. They repeated the experience with a concert of the Wu-Tang Clan in 2008.〔(WU TANG CLAN live in Paris )〕 In 2009, ''Trois couleurs'' put on weight 〔("Avant/Après" de Trois couleurs – nouvelle formule avril 09 )〕 and widened its editorial policy: an urban lifestyle guide was added, featuring the best cultural spots in Paris. Then, ''Trois couleurs'' claimed to be a prescriber for cultural and urban lifestyle. The magazine got also a new logo which was more aesthetic and charismatic and inspired of urban culture. In December 2009, ''Trois Couleurs'' launched his first special issue, which focused on the counterculture of the 1960s and invited Hedi Slimane to be guest editor in chief. '’Trois Couleurs'' was the first free French media to charge for collector issues. Although the monthly magazine talked about news and events, special issues put a cultural corpus into perspective depending on three axis: a thematic approach, a portfolio and several discussions with artists. The first special issue was successful, a fact which fostered the editorial staff to edit a new one when Tom Dicillo’s documentary on The Doors was released. The special issues were often related to historical events: for example, an issue was dedicated to the Stanley Kubrick exhibition of the Cinémathèque Française in 2011. ''Trois Couleurs" also edited a special issue in 2012 when the movie « On The road » (based on Jack Kerouac’s novel) was released and which is particularly relevant of the spirit of the magazine because it was built around the problematic «The man. The book. The film. » which allowed them to dedicate the contents to the process of creation. In April 2011, the editorial staff shot a 75 minutes documentary about hackism which was directed by one of its editors for the French channel « France 4 ». Then, ''Trois Couleurs'' met an ex-contributor to WikiLeaks and hacktivists of Anonymous before it became famous. Furthermore, this legitimated ''Trois Couleurs" ‘ role of prescriber. The documentary was entitled « Pirat@ges » and got several good reviews. During the Festival de Cannes 2011, ''Trois Couleurs'' launched a reshaped form of the magazine, which meant 132 pages. Étienne Rouillon, who was editor in chief on the special issue "Games Stories" and director of « Pirat@ges » became editor in chief of the whole magazine in 2012. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Trois couleurs magazine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
