Cinema Papers

Cinema Papers was an influential Australian film magazine which ran from 1974 to 2001.

History and profile

Cinema Papers was first published as a nationally distributed magazine in January 1974.[1] The name was derived, via a single issue magazine produced by students at LaTrobe University in October 1967, from the influential French journal Cahiers du Cinéma.[2] The magazine was published on a bimonthly basis and had its headquarters in Melbourne.[3] In 1989 Cinema Papers absorbed another film magazine, Filmviews.[3] One of the owners was MTV Publishing Ltd.[3]

Declining sales saw Cinema Papers end in 1999.[4] It was relaunched by Niche Media in April 2000 with Michaela Boland as its editor.[4] However, this ultimately proved unsuccessful and the magazine shut for good in 2001.[5] Digitised versions of Cinema Papers are available from the University of Wollongong's archival collection.[6]

Contributing writers include Scott Murray, Philippe Mora and Antony I. Ginnane.
