From the Makers of The Comprehensive Dictionary of Cinema
We created The Comprehensive Dictionary of Cinema for people who believe movies deserve serious curiosity. Its 1,312 pages, more than 5,400 entries, 2,000-plus sources, and 35 contributors were brought to life by nearly 3,000 fellow cinephiles, who contributed more than $290,000 through crowdfunding and preorders. The Logbook carries that shared obsession forward, giving you a place to record, question, revisit, and deepen your own relationship with the films you watch.

Your Viewing History Belongs to You
You may rent access to the movies, but you should own the record of what they meant to you. The Logbook gives that record a physical home for the details, reactions, and discoveries that cannot be reduced to a title, post, or rating.

A Movie Log with Guidance When You Need It
Use the Logbook as simply or deeply as you like. Write freely, or turn to five optional methodologies when you want a little guidance. Whether you are a filmmaker studying craft, a writer developing stories, a student or academic considering representation, an armchair historian exploring context, or a viewer using movies to better understand yourself, each offers a different way into the page. Examine text and context, connect choices to effects, trace story and pattern, consider power and perspective, or reflect on what changed between you and the film. Use one, combine several, adapt them, or develop an approach of your own.

A Different Way into Journalling
Turn the moments after a film into a personal ritual. Record what you noticed, how you felt, and what the experience brought up in you, creating a regular practice of reflection through something you already love.
