The British Council Film Collection is an archive of over 120 short documentary films made by the British Council during the 1940s designed to show the world how Britain lived, worked and played. Preserved by the BFI National Film Archive and digitised by means of a generous donation by Google, the films are now yours to view, to download and to play with for the first time.

The Film & Video Distribution Database has now been launched (http://fv-distribution-database.ac.uk). This is an AHRC funded resource which presents a selection of documents (and accompanying narrative chronologies) from and about UK distributors of experimental and independent film and video from the 1970s to 2000 – including the London Filmmakers Coop, The Other Cinema, LVA, Cinema of Women, Circles, the Film and Video Umbrella, Cinenova and Lux. It’s the product of two earlier research projects conducted by Julia Knight, Peter Thomas and Geoffrey Nowell-Smith (which have also resulted in the recently published Reaching Audiences: Distribution and Promotion of Alternative Moving Image, 2011).
