Cinema PapersCinema Papers was an Australian bi-monthly film magazine which ran from 1974 to 2001, regarded as "the premier Australian film industry magazine". It absorbed Filmviews in 1989. History and profileCinema Papers was first published as a nationally distributed magazine in January 1974,[1] established by Peter Beilby, Scott Murray, and Philippe Mora.[2] 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.[3] The La Trobe film society magazine was edited by Mora and Beilby, and from October 1969 until April 1970, another magazine, in the form of an 11-issue tabloid, was published by Mora.[2] The magazine was published on a bimonthly[4] or quarterly basis, and had its headquarters in Melbourne, at 143 Thierry Street.[5] One of the owners was MTV Publishing Ltd,[4] and it had financial assistance from the Film, Radio and Television Board of the Australia Council for the Arts as of 1976. Subscription then cost A$7.60 per year.[5] In 1989 Cinema Papers absorbed another film magazine, Filmviews,[4][2] but declining sales saw the magazine end in 1999.[6] Issue 131 was not published,[2] but it was relaunched with issue 132 by Niche Media in St. Kilda in April 2000 with Michaela Boland as its editor.[6] However, this ultimately proved unsuccessful and the magazine shut for good in 2001.[7] Contributing writers and editors included Antony I. Ginnane.[citation needed] CoverageThe magazine covered both national and international news, including film productions; interviews with actors, producers and technicians; historical articles; and film reviews of contemporary films from around the world.[2] Influence and legacyCinema Papers was regarded as "the premier Australian film industry magazine".[2] Digitised versions of Cinema Papers are available from the University of Wollongong's archival collection.[8][2] References
