Outside Japan, it is best known as the institution awarding the prestigious annual prestigious (except 1943–1945) national film award known as the Kinema Junpo Award , existing in a statute close to modern since 1926 (in 1924–1925, the prize was awarded to “best artistic” and the “best entertaining” foreign films), which is also the oldest film award in the world [1] [2] .
Originally published three times a month, once a decade , which was reflected in the title (from the old principle of the Japanese calendar, dividing the month into 3 decades, " jun " ), on the 1st, 11th and 21st days of the month [1] however, after the Second World War, the magazine began to appear less frequently, once every two weeks.
The magazine was founded by a group of four students of the architectural faculty of the Tokyo Institute of Technology (at that time, the Tokyo Higher Technical School) headed by . The first three issues were printed in black and white, on 4-page art paper; on the title page of the first issue are portraits of actresses Lillian Gish and [1] .
Initially, Kinadzun specialized in reviewing only foreign cinema, in particular, because its creators and first authors adhered to the principles of the , which did not take seriously their contemporary Japanese cinema , which at that time was more partly filmed productions of theaters kabuki and . Subsequently, the theme of the magazine was expanded to domestic films. Although the magazine for a long time positioned itself as a film critic publication, it later began to act as a wide profile film magazine, also telling about the Japanese film industry, new films and trends.
In early 1940, in connection with the Second World War, obeying the government’s “soft-pressing” request for mass publications to consolidate and “self-regulate”, the editorial staff removes Western borrowing “cinema” (cinema) from its name, renaming it as “Eiga Djumpo” (“Film breaks about films ”) [3] , but later returns to the already familiar title.
After the Tokyo editorial office was destroyed in 1923 during the Great Kanto Earthquake , Kinedzun continued to be published in offices based in the cities of Asia and Nishinomiya of Hyogo Prefecture , but later its headquarters returned to Tokyo.
