The French New Wave started with the magazine “Cahiers du Cinema”. Parallel cinema started with the “Cine Fantom” magazine. It had been the first and the only serious film publication for a long time in the USSR. There were theoretical studies dedicated to the nature of movies and video, articles on experimental cinematography, essays dedicated to the works of Fassbinder, Godard, Straub; all unknown in the USSR at that time, translations of works by Jonas Mekas, Nam June Paik were published. The first hand-written magazine editions were out in the period from 1985 to 1987. Starting from the sixth edition “Cine Fantom” turned into “samizdat” (underground press), which was out in 30 typewritten copies. Overall there were 11 editions published till 1991. Selected articles published there (texts that already became classical by Gleb Aleinikov and Boris Yukhananov, creators of parallell cinema) now are being published here in our Endless Journal. We hope it will continue traditions of a legendary Cine Fantom magazine. The Endless Journal consists of only one endless issue. Every our site visitor may fill it with he's/her's articles about cinema. Write the Endless Journal, create new film critique!
