The fabrication and chiroptical properties of organic thin films made from helicene‐like molecules have been described. The cover illustration represents an isotropic molecular thin film deposited on a glass substrate. It is penetrated by a linearly polarized light, which rotates due to high chirality of the material. Moreover, this thin film is reflected on water, making a symbolic mirror image of a pair of enantiomers. More information can be found in the Full Paper by M. Srebro‐Hooper, J. Crassous, L. Guy, et al. on page 3333 ff.
