DESCRIPTION

The magazine Hunar va Cinema (Art and Cinema), under the management and ownership of Hushang Kavusi, began its activities on March 19, 1961, and its first issue was published on the occasion of Nawruz in 1961. Art and Cinema covered artistic, scientific, and cultural news related to Western cinema. Reviews and descriptions of films, biographies of celebrities and those involved in the film and cinema industry, interviews with them and their own narrated memoirs, weekly film and cinema news, and short stories, were among the contents of this magazine. Additionally, several pages of the magazine were dedicated to women each week under the title Dunya-yi Zan "Women's World," which covered the fashionable and beautiful stars of cinema, interior design, flower and plant care, and other topics of interest to women. Illustrated stories and articles like "The History of Cinema in 120 Films" were also included in the magazine. Bahram Beyzaie, Parviz Sayyad, Hushang Kavusi, M. Baktash, and Jamal Mir-Sadiqi were contributors to the magazine, and Mahin Usku‘i and Hushang Sultanzada were translators for Art and Cinema magazine.

Art and Cinema was initially published weekly, but from issue 17 onwards, its publication became irregular. Its new period began on August 26, 1964, which also brought changes to the magazine's appearance and design.
