Iskusstvo Kino ( Russian: Искусство кино, Film Art) was a film magazine published in Moscow, Russia. It was one of the earliest magazines in Europe which specialize on film theory and review alongside the British magazine Sight & Sound and the French magazine Cahiers du Cinéma. [1] It was a print publication between 1931 and 2023.
The magazine was established in 1931. [1] [2] Its original title was Proletarskoe kino which was used for one year between 1931 and 1932. [2] Then the magazine was renamed as Sovetskoe kino in 1933 and was published under this title until 1935. [2] Its headquarters was in Moscow. [3] [4]
The magazine was published on a monthly basis from its start in 1931 to 1941. [5] Following its temporary closure during World War II it was relaunched in 1945 and appeared irregularly between 1945 and 1947. [2] [5] After that it came out bi-monthly from 1947 to 1951. [5] From 1952 it was published monthly. [3] [5]
During the Soviet period Iskusstvo Kino was the official magazine for cinema industry in the country. [6] The magazine included the editorials by the leading Communist Party officials. [7] At the same time it argued that films should meet the demands by public. [8] From 1963 the magazine and another film magazine Soviet Screen began to be published newly founded state-funded company Goskino, which was responsible body for the coordination of film production and distribution in the Soviet Union. [9]
The magazine covers articles on film theory and film reviews. [10] American scholar Vladimir Padunov contributed to the eightieth anniversary issue of the magazine. [11] In the 1960s Valerii Golovskoi was the editor. [12]
During the 1980s Iskusstvo Kino had a print run of 50,000 copies, while the magazine sold 2,000–3,000 copies in the 1990s. [13] In 2004 the magazine sold 5,000 copies. [3]
Daniil Dondurey was among magazine's editors. [14] He was succeeded by Anton Dolin in 2017, who raised a crowdfunding campaign for the magazine that gathered 3 million rubles. In 2020, Cinema Foundation of Russia refused to sponsor the magazine, a decision Dolin considered a retaliation for his critical reviews of the Foundation-sponsored films. In 2021, Iskusstvo Kino was crowdfunded again, raising 5 mln rub. In 2022, Dolin was proclaimed a foreign agent by Russian officials for political dissent and fled the country. The magazine ceased publication in May 2023 and became an online magazine. [15]
The magazine was archived by East View Information Services, Inc. based in Minneapolis. [10]
