Launched in 2015 around 2,500 films preserved by the BFI National Archive including home movies, documentaries and news footage from Victorian times to the 1980s are available online via BFI Player. Films of interest include what is believed to be the first surveillance footage shot in 1935 to entrap an illegal betting ring, and the first film to be used as evidence in a British court of law. There are also 1960s documentaries aimed at a Middle Eastern audience showing happy and engaged Muslim communities in Manchester and Cardiff – the message being, please come and live in the UK. What are believed to be the earliest surviving home movies, from 1902, are also hosted. Films can be searched by location, decade, or subject headings such as terraced houses, castles and street scenes.
