''The Kinematograph Weekly'', popularly known as ''Kine Weekly'', was a trade newspaper catering to the British film industry between 1889 and 1971. ==History== ''Kine Weekly'' was founded in 1889 as the monthly publication ''Optical Magic Lantern and Photographic Enlarger''. In 1907 it was renamed ''Kine Weekly'', containing trade news, advertisements, reviews, exhibition advice, and reports of regional and national meetings of trade organisations such as the Cinematograph Exhibitors' Association, and the Kinema Renters' Society. It was first published by pioneering film enthusiast, industrialist and printing entrepreneur, ET Heron. ''Kine Weekly'' was owned by the periodical publisher Odhams. Towards the latter part of its run it was published by Odhams' subsidiary Longacre Press. This was the name Odhams had given to Hultons - publisher of ''Picture Post'' (the magazine which pioneered photojournalism in the UK) and of the famous ''Eagle'' comic among other titles - when it took over that company in 1960. In 1970, Odhams itself was taken over by IPC Specialist and Professional Press Ltd. According to the final issue of ''Kine Weekly'' (published in 1971) the title was sold to British and American Film Holdings Ltd, which merged it with rival film-trade paper, ''Today's Cinema'' which, in turn, was relaunched in September 1975 as ''Screen International'', which is now owned and published by EMAP. Its issues provide an invaluable record of the development of the British film and television industries, and are widely studied by researchers. In particular, its published annual polls provide the most complete British box-office records available. A partial index of the newspaper—covering the period 1955 to the end of the publication in 1971, plus material from the late 1890s, early-1915, 1943 to mid-1945 and January to June 1954—has been produced by the British Cinema History Research Project, based at the University of East Anglia, and is available online.〔(Kine Weekly Online Index ) at British Cinema History Research Project〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kinematograph Weekly」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
