History and profile
editCantrills Filmnotes was founded and published by Arthur and Corinne Cantrill.[1] The first issue of the magazine appeared on 19 March 1971.[2] Its headquarters was in Melbourne.[3] Arthur and Corinne Cantrill were editors of Cantrills Filmnotes.[4]
The frequency of Cantrills Filmnotes varied: for the first two years it was published on a bi-monthly basis; from 1973 to 1974 it was published four times a year and from 1975 to 2000 it was published biannually.[5] Its first issue appeared in the A4 format, but the remaining issues were printed in the 270x210mm format.[4] The magazine was financed by the Australian Film Commission from October 1984 (issue #45/46) to December 1998 (issue #91/92).[1][6]
Cantrills Filmnotes published the Manifesto of the Italian Futurists and Arthur and Corinne Cantrill's own manifesto on cinema in its inaugural issue.[2] For the magazine the views of both Karl Marx and Sigmund Freud were not valid any more.[2] The magazine mostly featured the reviews of experimental films or avant-garde films, video art and digital media.[1][7] All the topics covered in the magazine were discussed from the artists' perspectives.[4]
Cantrills Filmnotes ceased publication with the issue December 1999-January 2000 (#93-100) due to financial problems.[1][5][6]
