First 100 issues of “ Al-Hayat” Cinema Magazine Republished Online

The electronic Cinema Horizons magazine , issued by the General  Establishment for Cinema  , has  begun publishing the first 100 issues of the Cinema  “ Al-Hayat”  magazine after  archiving  these issues  electronically with the aim of preserving them and providing an opportunity for those who are interested in  Syria and abroad  to review them.

Regarding this project, the Cinema Horizon magazine’s editor-in-chief and film critic Nidal Qoushaha , said in a statement to SANA  “the idea of archiving  the Cinema Al-Hayat magazine began with publishing   its 100th issue, which coincided  with the  passing  of 26 years since its launching , which  is considered one of the oldest continuous Arab cinema  magazines to be published without interruption”.

The Film critic indicated after completing the process of collecting the 100 issues, which is the most difficult according to Qoushaha , with the help of a number of interested people, the technical stage was carried out in cooperation with the technical  staff at   Al-Assad National Library by archiving the pages of these issues electronically so that these issues were published  after one year of work on two CDs.

Qoushah explained electronic Cinema Horizon Magazine   has published two of the first issues of Al Hayat  Cinema Magazine so far, and it continues to publish these issues to reach all the seventh  art lovers in the world, and thus the electronic magazine is at the service of the paper magazine..
