American Film Institute Catalog (AFIC)

It provides detailed information on feature-length feature films produced in the United States of America or financed by US production companies between 1893 and 1972. The database includes more than 48,000 film records with production information, technical data, information about the crew, cast and characters as well as records including detailed plots, genre and historical notes and quotation links. New data are inserted twice a year. A key source recommended for teaching, research and study of film art.

The FIAF International Film Archive Database

The database represents a unique bibliographic and factual database in its field. Established in 1972, it is operated by the International Federation of Film Archives—FIAF (founded in Paris in 1938). It now brings together 127 film archives from more than 65 countries. NFA has been a member since 1946. FIAF aims to preserve the artistic and historical heritage of cinematography in all countries, support historical research at the national and international levels, and establish and develop film archives, which are a guarantee of conservation of film culture in historical context. The FIAF database is a result of cooperation of various film archives. Each archive analytically processes, based on a single methodology prepared by a catalogue and documentation commission, selected film periodicals in its territory and provides further information on its activities. The FIAF database is updated 4 times a year.

The FIAF International FilmArchive Database includes the following sub-databases:

• International Index to Film Periodicals – this main database contains more than 230,000 records on articles with film themes from 1972 to present from more than 345 film academic and popular periodicals from around the world. 12,000 records are added annually. Each entry consists of a full bibliographic description, an abstract and comprehensive headings (biographical names, film titles and general subjects). The database also contains records on television from 1979 (approx. 50,000 records); since 2000 it has limited itself to articles with TV themes only from film periodicals.
• Treasures from the Film Archives – includes unique information about silent films (short, feature, documentary) from collections of more than 90 film archives in the world, cooperation among archives in the field of preservation, research, and protection of these films within projects of the National Film Preservation Foundation.
• Film / TV Documentation Collection – this database contains a detailed description of collections of FIAF members.
