Close-Up is a membership organisation that aims to make film culture and history accessible through its extensive film lending library, regular screenings and the online publication of Vertigo magazine. The Library’s collection of over 14,000 titles specialises in early cinema, classics, world cinema, documentaries, experimental films, video art and independent films. It includes rare films exclusive to Close-Up and by independent filmmakers not represented by distributors, who are welcome to submit their films. Filmographic details in the online library database are also available to non-members.
