History

Cashiers du Cinemart openly mocked the basic tenets of film criticism and theory while championing underground and independent film. The magazine became known for its edgy writing and incendiary opinions, [1] as well as its obsessive love for offbeat films. [4]

In 2010, BearManor Media published a collection of articles from Cashiers du Cinemart titled Impossibly Funky. [5]

In 2011, despite saying that Cashiers du Cinemart had ended its run in 2007, new issues were published via print on demand and e-publishing. [1]
