Bianco e Nero ( Italian: Black and White) is an Italian film journal. [1] It is the oldest film publication in Italy. [2]
Bianco e Nero was founded in 1937 by Luigi Chiarini as the official organ of the drama school Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia. [2] [3] Its first issue appeared in January that year. [4] Bianco e Nero was the official media outlet of the Centro Sperimentale della Cinematografia in Cinecittà based in Rome. [4]
Bianco e Nero was started as a monthly journal, and its contents included reviews and essays on film pedagogy and theory. [2] [3] Its first director was Luigi Freddi. [3] Since 1939, the magazine also published a series of special monographic books on history, form and technique of cinema. [3] It temporarily ceased publication between 1944 and 1946 because of World War II and resumed in 1947. [2] In 1999 the journal changed its spelling in Bianco & Nero and became a bimonthly. [2] The magazine is published by the University of Rome Press. [5]
The Spanish film magazine Objetivo was modeled on Bianca e Nero. [6]
