RES (magazine)

RES is a bi-monthly magazine chronicling the best in cutting edge film, music, art, design and culture. RES was launched with a preview issue in January 1997 at the Sundance Film Festival. The full-length premiere issue debuted in August 1997 with music video directors Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris on the cover. Subsequent issues have featured innovative filmmakers and artists such as Chris Cunningham, Michel Gondry, Spike Jonze, Lars von Trier, Björk, Radiohead, and Takagi Masakatsu.

When the magazine first launched, it carried the tagline "The Magazine of Digital Filmmaking".

After a 2002 redesign by Trollback + Company, and starting with that year's September/October issue, the magazine evolved into a lifestyle magazine for creators covering the fields of film, music, art and design. Since the redesign, all issues of the magazine have been bundled with a DVD that is sent to subscribers. The DVD features short films, music videos and music. RES was the first U.S. publication to include a DVD with every issue of the print publication.

The October 2006 issue of Res was the last issue to be printed as of now. A new hybrid magazine format would be launched by RES in 2007 which will be published on several media.

As of June 2008, the hybrid magazine format has not been launched. The publication's [http://www.res.com web site] continues to state "We plan to launch a new hybrid RES publication in 2007."

RES is published by RES Media Group, who also produce the international touring film festival, RESFest.
