History and profile
The magazine was launched in 1947 with the title ''Neue Film Welt'' (German: ''New Film World''). It was restarted by a decree of the ruling party of East Germany, Socialist Unity Party, with the title ''Filmspiegel'' in 1954. Its headquarters was in Berlin. The magazine was published in black and white until the 1970s when it began to use colour printing. ''Filmspiegel'' covered a wide range of topics, including drama schools and teaching approaches. It played a significant role in the development of the stardom concept in the East German cinema. Due to the restrictions on the paper quota the magazine published limited number of copies, but had a high level of readership. ''Filmspiegel'' folded in 1991.References
