This site is operated by the National Film Center at the National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo. It was established in 2017 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Japanese animation. The resource has been organised around four main sections: Categories, List of Works, List of Authors and the Noburo Ofuki Memorial Museum. Animation works can be searched by genre, type of motion, technique and character. The oldest film that can be watched on the site is The Dull Sword by Junichi Kouchi, which was released in June 1917. Other gems include, ?/Rhythmic Triangles/Fighting Cards (Shigehi Ogino, 1932), The Animal Olympics (Yasuji Murata, 1928) and Diseases Spread (Sanae Yamamoto, 1926), which was made to promote public awareness about hygiene.

A YouTube channel which aims to tell the history of cinema, one film at a time. The first episode cheats slightly, covering the years 1888 - 1914 in one fell swoop, but from 1915 onwards the focus is on a single film per year, each example being selected for the way in which it demonstrates the advances made in the cinematic medium, in terms of technology, technique, genre etc. Amongst the directors covered are Charlie Chaplin, Sergei Eisenstein, Cecil B. DeMille and Buster Keaton. The site addresses animation, the advent of sound, techniques such as montage and the close-up, as well as early filmic examples of documentary, horror and science-fiction.

The IFI Player presents a freely available selection of material from the collections of the Irish Film Archive. Feature films, animations, documentaries, adverts, amateur films, travelogues and newsreels tell the story of Irish social, political and cultural history in moving images. The site features a wealth of fascinating material - from this award winning film about W.B. Yeats to a Telecom Eireann advert in which Bob Geldof warns of the idiocy of vandalising public telephones. Other films explore the Troubles, the events of Easter 1916, the Irish emigrant experience in America, the Irish landscape, tourism and religion. Users can search by keyword, browse by genre, or explore the curated collections section. Some of the films are accompanied by classroom worksheets for teachers and students.

This site celebrates a century of Japanese animation, with a fascinating selection of short films, spanning the years 1917 - 1941, all available to view online. The 64 films, curated by The Film Centre at Tokyo’s National Museum of Modern Art, include the oldest surviving Japanese animated film - 'The Dull Sword’, from 1917 - which was believed to be lost until a print was found in 2008 in an Osaka antique shop. The other films include public information films, propaganda, fairy tales, fables and historical drama. Although most of the site in its current form is in Japanese only, all the films have English titles and subtitles.

Based at Leeds University, this website is the result of a project which looks at the gendered histories of archives and their relationship to history-making and feminist activism. There is a particular emphasis on Women’s Libraries and Feminist Archives, and their role in shaping women’s lives. The site features a series of video interviews with the partners and participants in FAFF’s Archiving Women in Film & TV project in which feminist filmmakers discuss their own archives, while academics and archivists talk about the opportunities and challenges for creating and curating archives of women’s film & TV history.

This site archives the feminist film fanzine, or ‘video chainletter’ created by Miranda July and a network of female filmmakers during the 1990s and early 2000s. Originally called ‘Big Miss Movieola’, then changed to ‘Joanie4Jackie’ following legal threats from the owner of the Movieola brand, the project began when July issued a ‘challenge and a promise’ to other filmmakers: ‘Lady, you send me your movie and I’ll send you the latest Big Miss Moviola Chainletter Tape’. In addition to digitised versions of the chainletter tapes themselves, the site features extensive contextual material, including posters, letters, press, documentary films about the project and interviews with participants.
