Template:Realworld American Cinematographer is a magazine that has a specific focus on the art of cinematography and delves into the technical details of filming and other aspects of productions through in-depth behind-the-scenes articles and interviews about and with the people involved. Launched by the "The American Society of Cinematographers" in 1920 under the stewardship of "Captain Jack" Poland, the magazine is as of 2009 still being published. Though there is a certain overlap in the subject matter with the younger magazines Cinefex and Cinefantastique (Reporter Ron Magid submitted his SFX-articles also to the latter magazine in the last quarter of the previous century), the focus lies, as the title already suggests, on the various aspects of the actual filming whereas Cinefex is focused on special effects and Cinefantastique covers a lesser indepth but wider range of behind-the-scenes aspects. As such the magazines can be considered complimentary.
