Bianco e Nero (Italian for "Black and White") is an Italian film journal. It is the oldest film publication in Italy.

History and profile

Bianco e Nero was founded in 1937 by Luigi Chiarini as the official organ of the drama school Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia. It started its publications as a monthly journal, and its contents included reviews and essays on film pedagogy and theory. Its first director was Luigi Freddi. Since 1939, there were also published a series of special monographic books on history, form and technique of cinema. It temporarily ceased publication between 1944 and 1946 because of the war and resumed in 1947. In 1999 the journal changed its spelling in Bianco & Nero and became a bimonthly.

The magazine is published by the University of Rome Press.

The Spanish film magazine Objetivo was modeled on Bianca e Nero.
