    This provides a week of listings on UK movie channels such as Sky Movies, Film Four, TCM and The Studio as well as movie reviews and movie trivia and a fairly large section devoted to film trailers which will require MediaPlayer to view. The site can best be described as functional, but it completely lacks the breadth and depth of other online TV guides such as Digiguide, What’s on the BBC and it doesn’t even come close to the BUFVC’s own TRILT service.

    Previously a subscription service known as Tookeys Film Guide, this is now advert-supported and therefore much more accessible. It remains a fairly large and certainly up-to-date database, detailing the often eccentric opinions of film critic Christopher Tookey which can be searched by title, personality, year, keyword and genre. It also provides a very useful sampling of opinions by other critics as well as a rather dubious rating system. Now includes some of Tookey’s BBC Radio broadcasts.

    LUX focuses on visual arts-based moving image work, a definition which includes experimental film, video art, installation art, performance art, personal documentary, essay films and animation. The organisation’s main activities are distribution, exhibition, publishing, commissioning, research, and professional development support, and the newly designed website neatly reflects all these activities. Of particular note is the easily searchable collection of 4500 films and videos by approximately 1500 artists, which evolved from the holdings of the now-defunct London Filmmakers Co-operative, London Video Arts and The Lux Centre. These works are available for hire or sale (via the online shop), some may be viewed online in their entirety (Video section) and some are included in online themed exhibitions (listed in the ‘What’s On’ section which also includes detailed information on LUX projects and events, and a calendar listing of upcoming events across London involving artists’ moving image). The site also features a blog and downloadable podcasts and vodcasts of interviews with artists, documentation of LUX events and specially commissioned content.
