Positif is a French film magazine, founded in 1952 by Bernard Chardere. It is the second oldest film magazine in publication after Les Cahiers du cinéma.[1]

Positif often acts as a counterpoint to Cahiers du cinéma,[2] another well-known French film journal, notably with Gerard Gozlan's article sarcastically titled "In Praise of André Bazin."[3] Positif has a Marxist-Leninist approach towards films.[2]

The magazine was edited by Eric Losfeld from 1959.[4][5] The current chief editor is Michel Ciment.[6] The contributors included Ado Kyrou.
