Background information (source):

Founded in 1967 by experimental filmmaker Carl Linder as "New York Filmmakers' Newsletter," this newsletter was originally published out of the Filmmakers Cinematheque, and served a similar purpose as Canyon Cinema's "Canyon Cinemanews," disseminating information on screenings, festivals, and republishing articles and essays about experimental film.

Suni Mallow took over as editor in early 1968, and she quickly brought a wider focus to the magazine, dropping "New York" from the title and publishing the magazine under its own imprint (although it still retained ties to the Cinematheque). This broader approach to the world of avant garde film was successful, and when Mallow sold the magazine in 1979 (after becoming publisher in 1969), it had one of the highest ad rates per reader in business, speaking to "Filmmakers Newsletter's" reach and influence among experimental filmmakers, distributors, hobbyists, critics, and fans.
