Filmint
Filmint
is a high quality film journal which has been promoting intellectual film
culture since 1973. Every issue offers in-depth cinema analysis combined with film
happenings, DVD, book, film and festival news and reviews.
Articles
range from examinations of themes and motifs within cinema to focus articles on
specific filmmakers and critical articles on specific films. This is not a
“lightweight” cinema magazine, but a high quality film studies journal offering
well researched insightful articles which are well referenced and erudite. Each
article includes keywords, contributor details and references.
At
the same time it is approachable and entertaining as well as informative,
Filmint strikes a good balance between film criticism and studies and general
intellectual film commentary and communicates well for anyone interested in
film, whether a film studies student or just someone who just wants to be
better informed.
The
extremely high quality of cinematic journalism in Filmint can be suggested by
just some of the articles which grabbed my attention in the last few issues.
Volume
6 No. 1 includes a comprehensive study of Control and British Cinema focusing
on the film Control about New Order and Ian Curtis. There is also a focus study
on Gillo Pontecorvo, an overview of Austrian cinema and a study of Ben Bolt’s
adaptation of Henry James The Turn of the Screw.
Volume

Genre film and a reading on Dr.Who among other pieces.

the Sartana/Sabata Cycle in Spaghetti Westerns and some interesting interviews

Volume
6 no 4 will be of special interest to readers of Synergy as it focuses on Genre
cinema. It is packed with all sorts of articles on every possible aspect of
Genre cinema with specific reference to film festivals worldwide.
Each
issue is beautifully published with colour and black and white images and
always surprises with the diverse range of content and informative commentary.
The
website also offers some great content include sample articles and reviews and
is certainly worth regularly visiting.
