Films and Filming was first published in 1951, and where other film magazines of the time publicized films and their stars with little critical appraisal, Films and Filming was very much a serious magazine about the cinema.
Over the years it contained lengthy reviews of films, listing not only the main actors and their characters but key technical people, directors, producers, cinematographers etc. Besides critically reviewing films it all also carried in depth articles about all aspects of cinema, including foreign films and independent films. It became a must read for any serious student of the cinema.
Despite being absorbed by another film Magazine in the 1980’s the title Films and Filming ceased in the early 1990’s.
