Film journals and magazines are important media of film criticism. Contrary to film reviews in newspapers on the one hand and purely academic film books on the other they allow to combine discussion of individual films and directors with more principal considerations about the medium and the conditions of its production and reception as well as commentaries on contemporay developments of the film industry.
