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]

History and profile

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]

Skoop folded in 1993. [2] [4]

Convexity is an important topic in economics. In the Arrow–Debreu model of general economic equilibrium, agents have convex budget sets and convex preferences: At equilibrium prices, the budget hyperplane supports the best attainable indifference curve. The profit function is the convex conjugate of the cost function. Convex analysis is the standard tool for analyzing textbook economics. Non‑convex phenomena in economics have been studied with nonsmooth analysis, which generalizes convex analysis.

The Media History Digital Library (MHDL) is a non-profit, open access digital archive founded by David Pierce and directed by Eric Hoyt that compiles books, magazines, and other print materials related to the histories of film, broadcasting, and recorded sound and makes these materials accessible online for free. The MHDL both digitizes physical materials and acquires digital copies from outside libraries, archives, collectors, and other collaborators. Most of the material in its more than 2.5 million pages is in the public domain and therefore free for all to use with no restrictions. Projects of the Media History Digital Library include its search engine Lantern and its data visualization platform Arclight, and it is currently led by the Wisconsin Center for Film and Theater Research at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, in Madison, Wisconsin. Film and media studies librarian James Steffen has called the MHDL one of "the two most important digital collections today for studying media industries."

Dutch punk, or Nederpunk, is a body of music that evolved in the Netherlands that encompasses the various styles of punk rock music. The culture surrounding punk rock is often strongly politically oriented; in the Netherlands, punk culture grew alongside, and was influenced by, the Dutch squatters' movement and other European squatters' movements. Few Dutch punk bands write lyrics in Dutch. However, as a small country, punk in the Netherlands has evolved with a unique mix of UK, US, European, and global punk influences.
