History and profile

Launched in 1934 and published monthly, Film Journal International covered exhibition, production, and distribution, reporting both U.S. and international news, with features on industry trends, movie theater design and technology, screen advertising, and other topics. It was the official magazine of the industry conventions ShoWest, ShowEast, Cinema Expo International, and CineAsia.
