Kine Weekly 1907 – 1971

The new-born cinematograph was quickly recognised as holding the greatest potential as the voice of the modern age and fired the public, artistic and commercial imagination of the entire civilised world.

The 1930s were the Golden Years of the cinema and the pages of this continuous popular weekly accurately reflect the development of the cinema after the advent of sound, on into the television era. The golden years of the cinema, the thirties and forties gradually faded away as television came to encroach on family entertainment. Kine Weekly faithfully records this decline, and also the rise of television from its early days as a popular medium.

The Silent Era 1907 – 1928

The new medium had barely left the cradle when the Kinematograph & Lantern Weekly, as it was then called, set itself up as the keenest standard bearer the art could wish for. Having, throughout its history, chronicled every aspect of the industry, examining and assessing its technical developments as well as its products, the journal has become widely regarded as the most comprehensive organ on the cinema.

Please note that there were no publications for the periods June 1909 – April 1912 and July 1913 – December 1914.
