Positif (Français)

Subscription to Positif

Positif is an independent French film magazine, founded in Lyon in 1952. Published by Actes Sud in association with the Institut Lumière, it offers in-depth analysis and thoughtful perspectives on cinema. This print subscription provides a tangible connection to film criticism and scholarship.

Positif provides well-researched background articles, reasoned opinions, and detailed film reviews. While its earlier left-wing stance is less prominent, the magazine maintains its commitment to quality content, appealing to a knowledgeable, art-loving audience. The magazine strives for a balance between commercial appeal and specialised film analysis. Though less widely known than Première and with a smaller circulation than Cahiers du cinéma, Positif is internationally respected for its independence and long-standing dedication to film culture. This subscription delivers the print version of the magazine, imported from France, for one year, with 11 issues.

What to expect in every issue:

• In-depth essays and articles on film history and theory.
• Critical reviews of new film releases.
• Interviews with filmmakers and actors.
• Coverage of film festivals and events.
• Insightful analysis of cinematic trends.
