Description:
The International Federation of Film Archives (FIAF) brings together institutions dedicated to rescuing films both as cultural heritage and as historical documents.
Founded in Paris in 1938, FIAF is a collaborative association of the world's leading film archives whose purpose has always been to ensure the proper preservation and showing of motion pictures. Today, more than 120 archives in over 65 countries collect, restore, and exhibit films and cinema documentation spanning the entire history of film.
You can link from the detailed FIAF index records to the full text of the article within the database where it is available. Many of the most important titles appear in full text, some from first issue.
The titles included in full text range from the scholarly (Film Comment, Framework ) to the popular (Variety, Sight and Sound) and the title and coverage range is expanded with every release of the data -- typically every month -- to ensure currency.
Descriptors are in English.
