The first scholarly film periodicals were the "Kinematographische Rundschau" (1907) and "Der Oesterreichische Komet" (1908). "Das Lichtbild-Theater" and the "Dramagraph-Woche" were published in 1911, followed by "Filmkunst" (Ed. Cinema Eclair) as well as "Kastalia" (for scientific and educational films published by educationists) in 1912. In 1913 "Die Filmwoche" appeared, and "Paimanns Filmlisten", a periodical listing reviews of all films shown in Austria in encyclopedic form, was issued from 1916 - 1965.
In 1918 the periodical "Der Filmbote" appeared. "Die neue
Kino-Rundschau", a scholarly film studies journal published by the
Austrian government and the Austrian cinemas, was started in 1917.
