ABOUT US

The magazine UniversalCinema was founded with a simple goal: Making film writing accessible to all who love the movies. What has long distinguished cinema from other arts is its intimate connection with modern technology and mass production. It is uniquely able to speak to masses of people. Not for nothing did Russian revolutionary Vladimir Lenin call it “the most important of all the arts.”
