Positif (magazine)
Positif is a French film magazine, founded in 1952 by Bernard Chardère in Lyon.It is one of two major French-language film magazines, created several months after Les Cahiers du cinéma.[2] Traditionally, Positif has served as a counterpoint to Les Cahiers du cinéma, focusing on film themes and scripts, in contrast to politics and aesthetics.In the 1950s, Positif was associated with the non-Communist left (while Les Cahiers du cinéma originally held political affiliations with the right).[3][4] After publishing an article about Orson Welles in 1963, Michel Ciment became a member of the magazine's editorial committee.
