Screen International is a British film magazine covering the international film business. It is published by Media Business Insight, a British B2B media company.

The magazine is primarily aimed at those involved in the global film business. The magazine in its current form was founded in 1975,[1] and its website, Screendaily.com, was added in 2001.

Screen International also produces daily publications at film festivals and markets in Berlin, Germany; Cannes, France; Toronto, Ontario, Canada; the American Film Market in Santa Monica, California; and Hong Kong.

History

Screen International traces its history back to 1889 with the publication of Optical Magic Lantern and Photographic Enlarger.[2] At the turn of the 20th century, the name changed to Cinematographic Journal and in 1907 it was renamed Kinematograph and Lantern Weekly.

Kinematograph Weekly

Kinematograph and Lantern Weekly contained 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 E. T. Heron
. In 1919 it was renamed Kinematograph Weekly which was further shortened in 1959 to Kine Weekly.

The title was sold to British and American Film Holdings Ltd in September 1971, which merged it with rival film-trade paper Today's Cinema.[3][4] It was later renamed CinemaTV Today.

Launch of Screen International

In 1975, Peter King purchased the struggling CinemaTV Today from

Sir John Woolf for £50,000 (equivalent to £446,000 in 2021) and relaunched the publication as Screen International.[3][5] The first issue of Screen International was published on 6 September 1975. King sold the publication in 1989 to the International Thomson Organization.[3]

Many Screen International journalists have gone on to become major industry figures, including Colin Vaines, who ran production for companies such as Miramax and GK Films, and who has produced many award-winning film and television projects.[5]

Screen Daily

In addition to its print magazine, Screen International maintains Screen Daily, a website providing a real-time view of the film industry.[6]
