Cinema Scope was an English-language film magazine published in Toronto, Canada.[1]

History and profile

The first issue of Cinema Scope was published in 1999. Up until 2022, the magazine compiled a list of the top ten films of each year.

Mark Peranson, the magazine's editor, was awarded the Clyde Gilmour Award by the Toronto Film Critics Association in 2009.[2]

In 2023, Peranson suggested that the ninety-sixth issue of the magazine would likely be the penultimate issue in its current format.[3] [4]
