KINEČKO

KINEČKO is a film magazine that represents a platform for international, but mainly Slovak professional public and art-oriented readers. KINEČKO reflects cinema in the context of contemporary culture, and present to the public a profound analysis of filmmaking. Its purpose is to serve as a source of information and a platform for unofficial, yet well-founded debate between contemporary filmmakers and film critics, and for the presentation of film and film criticism abroad. It contains interviews and film reviews, as well as space for interviews with documentary filmmakers, dialogues between directors and producers, students and pedagogues, etc. Another contribution of KINEČKO is the fact that it releases DVDs with films that cannot be found in regular distribution. Every year 5 issues in slovak language and on issue in english language are published.
