History and profile
editCiné-Mondial was started in 1941 shortly after the occupation of France by the Nazi forces.[2][3] Its first issue appeared on 8 August that year.[2] The magazine was founded by the German authorities who banned all French film magazines, including Cinémonde, Ciné-Miroir and Pour Vous.[1] Its financier was the German embassy in Paris.[2] It was part of Éditions Le Pont and came out weekly.[2] Robert Muzard was the director of the magazine,[2] and Pierre Heuzé served as its editor-in-chief.[4]
Nazi occupiers established two cinema clubs in Paris, and the magazine was affiliated with one of them.[5] It frequently published news about this club which had been founded in September 1943.[5] It also attempted to improve the credibility of Nazi films among French people.[6] However, it never featured the photographs of Nazi leaders.[4] Because it avoided negative reactions of its readers[4] who were mostly young adults and women.[2] The magazine folded on 11 August 1944.[2]
