    This website is the result of an AHRC-funded project to explore the relationship of film history, memory and the urban landscape of Liverpool from 1897 to the 1980s. Liverpool is one of Britain’s most filmed cities and one of the project’s achievements has been the creation of an online catalogue listing around 1700 films, particularly those which record the city’s urban landscape, documenting locations, landmarks and buildings. Consequently the emphasis is on amateur, newsreel, travelogues and promotional films, rather than fiction or feature films. In addition to the usual searches by genre, date etc. users can also search the catalogue by spatial and geographic information specific to each title.

    There are also a number of videos, filmed at various events held throughout the project’s duration. Here writer Iain Sinclair talks about his view of Liverpool as an outsider. In this video Ethel Singleton speaks about her role in the Nick Broomfield documentary Behind the Rent Strike (1974), about the action undertaken by tenants in Kirkby New Town in December 1972 in protest at the Housing Finance Bill.
