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 La Trobe 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. One of the owners was MTV Publishing Ltd. [3]

In 1989 Cinema Papers absorbed another film magazine, Filmviews, [3] but declining sales saw the magazine 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 and editors included filmmakers Scott Murray, Philippe Mora and Antony I. Ginnane.[ citation needed ]
