Cinema Papers
Cinema Papers was an Australian bi-monthly film magazine which ran from 1974 to 2001.History and profile
Cinema Papers was first published as a nationally distributed magazine in January 1974. 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. The magazine was published on a bimonthly basis and had its headquarters in Melbourne. In 1989 Cinema Papers absorbed another film magazine, Filmviews. One of the owners was MTV Publishing Ltd.
Declining sales saw Cinema Papers end in 1999. It was relaunched by Niche Media in April 2000 with Michaela Boland as its editor. However, this ultimately proved unsuccessful and the magazine shut for good in 2001. Digitised versions of Cinema Papers are available from the University of Wollongong's archival collection.
Contributing writers include Scott Murray, Philippe Mora and Antony I. Ginnane.
