Arts on Film Archive

Arts on Film

I thought you might be interested in the free resource above.

Arts on Film Archive offers on-line access to a large range of films on art produced in the United Kingdom since the 1950s, and is a unique record of British and international post-war art, as well as of documentary film-making in the UK. Many titles in the collection contain rare material about individual artists, while others offer definitive coverage of their subject. The archive is an invaluable primary research resource for a wide range of scholars in arts and humanities. Its films contain valuable source material for biographies, monographs, and many other forms of research in art history and documentary film-making. Due to copy right restrictions the Arts Council England films can only be streamed to ac.uk domain addresses.

I have just had a quick look myself - for example, a search using ‘art’ or ‘photographer’ brings up some interesting material.

I am having the archive added to our A to Z list of databases on the library homepage.
