Academic Film Archive of North America

 

The mission of The Academic Film Archive of North America is to acquire, preserve, document, and promote academic film by providing an archive, resource, and forum for continuing scholarly advancement and public exhibition.  We also  document and archive historically important films not specifically in the academic genre, including anthropological, ethnographic, and medical subjects. We also engage in special research projects, and are the only institution in the U.S. dedicated to documenting the history of this endangered film genre.  We invite you to help us to save films and provide free access to them on the Internet Archive, by nominating a film and making a donation to fund uploading it. 

AFA director Geoff Alexander's new book "Academic Films for the Classroom: A History" is now available. 
Read Michael Fox's interview with Geoff.

FREE WONDER WOMAN!!!- Nikki Finke on Deadline.com/hollywood

FREE WONDER WOMAN!!! --DC Comics Has Ruined Wonder Woman!

By Nikki Finke | Wednesday June 30, 2010 @ 4:23am PDT

DEADLINE EXCLUSIVE: Don Kramer's Wonder Woman

DC Comics announced that, starting today, Wonder Woman "will appear like you’ve never seen her before". And I wish they'd just left her alone, especially since she's the only comic book character female I've ever admired. Of course, it took a bunch of men to ruin her. Look at the new costume design by DC Comics Co-Publisher Jim Lee below: she looks ready for Goth Day at the Sherman Oaks Galleria. (Shame on Diane Nelson, the head of DC Entertainment, for allowing this to happen. And for not finding a talented woman writer to update the icon's saga.) Here's the announcement about the dumbass stuff that DC Comics is doing to her. So let me start the campaign: FREE WONDER WOMAN!

AllMovie

AllMovie

AMG started out in 1991 in Big Rapids, MI. Our original mission was to create books to help consumers find the "best" music. But, as our databases grew, we saw they could be powerful tools for online retailers and entertainment destinations. We started licensing the All Music Guide in 1993. In 1994, we added the All Movie Guide. Our award-winning websites started in 1995 and helped us find even more licensing customers. In 1998 we created the All Game Guide to address that growing market. In order to accommodate the growth of our business, we moved to Ann Arbor, MI in 1999. Since then, our staff has tripled in size.

What exactly does AMG do?

AMG licenses our entertainment content databases and technologies to a number of clients. We also maintain our websites, continue to produce new editions of our successful music guide series with Backbeat Books, and, in conjunction with Medalist Entertainment, we recently released the first group of CDs enhanced by our content.

Greatest Films - The Best Movies in Cinematic History

Greatest Films - The Best Movies in Cinematic History 

Filmsite.org is an award-winning website for classic film buffs, students, moviegoers and anyone else interested in the great movies of the last century. Detailed plot synopses, review commentary and film reference material are just some of the features available on the site. The site also contains film analysis, original content, information on the top films and most memorable movie scenes, "best of&" articles, and the most popular film quotes in all genres of film. Its many resources include a comprehensive overview of film history, a complete survey of the Academy Awards (Oscars), milestones and turning points in the industry, and background and descriptions for hundreds of classic Hollywood/American and other English-language movies from the last one hundred years. In the mid-1990s when it was first launched, Filmsite.org was one of the first websites to initiate the trend to select 100 Greatest Films in the history of cinema. Film critic and columnist Roger Ebert, author of The Great Movies (2002) and The Great Movies II (2005), has made many detailed references to Filmsite.org in his Chicago Sun-Times "Answer Man" column and in his many writings about the Great Movies. He has written that the site is "an invaluable repository of movie descriptions and dialogue" and that it is an "awesome website [that] contains detailed descriptions of 300 great American films, along with many other riches.

A Glossary of Film Terms

A Glossary of Film Terms 

A Glossary of Film Terms written and designed for the web by Joel Schlemowitz Filmmaking is an art with a very complex, and in some ways confusing, vocabulary of terms. To communicate with labs, negative cutters and with your crew it is best to know the right term to use. The terms can often be used against someone not familiar with them. An old story goes that a P.A. was asked to bring over a half-apple and returned with a sliced-up piece of fruit. Use this glossary to keep those who would try to intimidate you with the lingo from doing so, but remember too, where you started from and do not use this glossary to become one of those intimidators. This glossary is intended to be supplemental to a film production course. It is a glossary of the nomenclature of filmmaking, not an encyclopedia of filmmaking. Many of the more complex issues have not been given a full explanation: such as the how to of any of the processes defined here. This is a list of simple definitions to help you speak film and find and understand the answers to your questions rather than be the answers themselves. Please note: The Glossary and Index can be somewhat slow to load at first, but once they are in your browsers cache they do speed up a little.

Cartoons, Cartoon Information, The First Toon Encyclopedia - Don Markstein's Toonopedia

Cartoons, Cartoon Information, The First Toon Encyclopedia - Don Markstein's Toonopedia

What is Don Markstein's Toonopedia™?

A vast repository of toonological knowledge, of course. Don't you read blurbs?

No, seriously, it's my (i.e., Don Markstein's) attempt to gather and share information and observations about the toon world — a "toon" being anything that's done in cartoon form, such as animated films, comic books, etc. I realize I have a long way to go before it can be considered truly comprehensive — but then, I always will, because the toon world is far too large for one person to describe in one lifetime. So I'm concentrating mostly on American toons (at least for the present), trying to hit as many high points as I can, and filling in the gaps wherever possible.

Before I'm finished (i.e., dead), I hope to have constructed the most comprehensive toon reference work in the world, and to be regarded as the standard source for toonological information.

BFI Screenonline

BFI Screenonline

What is BFI Screenonline?

BFI Screenonline is an online encyclopaedia of British film and television featuring hundreds of hours of film and television clips from the vast collections of the BFI National Archive, and several hours of recorded interviews with film and TV personalities. These clips are supplemented by rich and authoritative contextual material by expert writers, specially commissioned for BFI Screenonline alongside thousands of stills, posters and press books. The site also features the BFI Screenonline Education Zone, a free resource to help all subject teachers make the most out of moving image in the classroom.

BFI Screenonline is the single most extensive publicly available resource devoted to British film and television, and is entirely free. Users in registered UK schools, colleges, universities and libraries (see Registration help) can access the entire site, including the moving image materials; users in other locations can see everything but the film and TV clips and recorded audio interviews. The project has been developed by the BFI and funded by a £1.2 million grant from the New Opportunities Fund. You can find out more about the BFI and its activities at www.bfi.org.uk.
