Skoop (Dutch : Scope) was a film magazine which was published from 1963 to 1993 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. It was one of the earliest publications on cinema and related topics in the country. The magazine contributed to the Dutch film industry in the 1960s and 1970s. [1]
Skoop was established in 1963, and its first issue appeared in February of that year. [2] Its founders were the students of the Netherlands Film Academy. [2] Its editorial board members were Pim de la Parra, Wim Verstappen, Gied Jaspars and Nikolai van der Heyde. [2] The magazine was published by Stichting Skoop based in Amsterdam. [3]
Skoop targeted film experts, [4] but had a critical approach towards the established film directors such as Bert Haanstra and film reviewers such as Janus van Domburg. [2] From its first issue the magazine supported the non-traditional film criticism. [2]
Skoop became one of the influential film magazines in the Netherlands in the 1980s and had a circulation of 12,500 copies. [4] Another film magazine entitled Critisch Filmforum was merged with Skoop in 1969. [4]
In addition to film reviews and other related material, Skoop conducted surveys one of which was about the choices of people who went to cinemas. The results of the survey were published in the February–March 1984 issue of the magazine. [5]

Urban Gothic is a sub-genre of Gothic fiction, film horror, and television dealing with industrial and post-industrial urban society. It was pioneered in the mid-19th century in Britain, Ireland, and the United States, before being developed in British novels such as Robert Louis Stevenson's Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (1886) and Irish novels such as Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890) and Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897). In the twentieth century, urban Gothic influenced the creation of the sub-genres of Southern Gothic and suburban Gothic. From the 1980s, interest in the urban Gothic was revived with books like Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles and a number of graphic novels that drew on dark city landscapes, leading to adaptations in film including Batman (1989), The Crow (1994) and From Hell (2001), as well as influencing films like Seven (1995).
Ultra is a Dutch post-punk movement that originated in Amsterdam in the early 1980s. The name "ultra" is a shortening of "ultramodernen".

In contrast to other countries' post-punk movements, the Dutch experimented with, among other things, toy instruments, chainsaws and de-tuned guitars.
Convexity is a geometric property with a variety of applications in economics. Informally, an economic phenomenon is convex when "intermediates are better than extremes". For example, an economic agent with convex preferences prefers combinations of goods over having a lot of any one sort of good; this represents a kind of diminishing marginal utility of having more of the same good.
