JP — Independent Journal is an independent publication dedicated to cinema, culture, and critical inquiry.
JP was founded in response to a growing gap between cultural production and cultural accountability. In an environment where artistic language is increasingly shaped by institutional comfort, branding strategies, and performative dissent, JP exists to slow things down, examine context, and insist on responsibility.
The journal focuses on cinema and culture not as isolated artistic fields, but as systems shaped by power, censorship, economics, and historical conditions. We publish essays, critical texts, interviews, and editorial reflections that prioritize clarity over neutrality and inquiry over positioning.
JP does not claim objectivity as a posture.
We recognize that cultural analysis always operates within structures of imbalance. Our editorial approach is therefore grounded in evidence, context, and disclosurenot false balance.
JP is structurally independent and editorially accountable.
It is not affiliated with political parties, state institutions, or corporate interests.
This journal is intended as a long-form, referable space
for readers who are not looking for affirmation,
but for examination.
