Cinefex /ˈsɪnɪfɛks/ was a quarterly journal that debuted in 1980 and covered visual effects in films. Each issue featured lengthy, detailed articles that described the creative and technical processes behind current films, the information drawn from interviews with the effects artists and technicians involved. Each issue also featured many behind-the-scenes photographs illustrating the progression of visual effects shots – from previsualization to final – as well as the execution of miniatures, pyrotechnics, makeup and other related effects.

Cinefex was made available for the iPad,[1] enabling users to purchase digital copies of back issues of the magazine.
