[KineJapan] 100 years of Kinema Junpō

[Gerow Aaron]

Yes, it is. Does anyone know of other film magazines still in publication that are 100 years old?

KineJun is not a “pure” 100 years old, since it stopped publication several times. First, during the war, after having to change its name to Eiga junpo. It began again under its original name in March 1946, but stopped again in April 1950, only to start again in November 1950. It has been continually publishing since then.

It is important to talk about KineJun’s flaws, but it is also important to remember that KineJun has had many existences, especially under different editors. In the mid-1990s, for instance, KineJun was actually publishing a number of pieces that bordered on the academic. (That is less so these days). Somebody should try to do a history of KineJun.
