Film magazines are an important medium of the film criticism. Contrary to discussions of individual films in daily papers on and, they permit the connection of the argument with individual films with fundamental considerations to the medium film and its production and prescription ion conditions and comments to current developments to purely academic film-scientific books on the other side the industry.

Development of the film press

Development in the FRG

The German film press was strongly coined/shaped of the commitment of the large Christian churches in the Federal Republic long years. The catholic film service for the youth (today film-served) and the Evangelist film observer (today epd film) almost all films coming into the cinemas discussed in detail and delivered recommendations, which oriented themselves into the 70's strongly at protection of children and young people conceptions and Christian moral. On the recapitulatory short criticisms in the film service the "encyclopedia of the international film" is based, the standard work in the German-speaking countries. Beside the konfessionellen film press there were attempts again and again to establish a film press e.g. the film criticism independent of the churches, which had to give up usually sooner or later because of financial problems.

Since the 70ern film service and epd film no longer only and culture-critical interests represent and since then to the prominent German-language film magazines developed.
