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.

Part of the Internet Archive, which also covers archived moving images (The Internet Moving Images Archive), audio and software, the Wayback Machine holds cached versions of thousands of websites and billions of pages, allowing users to look at sites that are no longer available or at earlier versions of ones that are still around. An invaluable resource that, due to the gigantic nature of the holdings, is slightly hampered by the fact that no list of the holdings can be easily provided. This means inevitably that correct recall of the URL in question is necessary, or failing that, searching for it on the web first.

Available in both Dutch and English-language versions, the database can be searched by title, personality and organisation and lists over 20,000 individual film and television titles. These searches can also be refined quite narrowly by year, genre and even by whether the film is in colour or not. The entries are brief but to the point and all entries are properly and thoroughly cross-indexed.

Aimed at budding filmmakers, this rather overpopulated website includes a searchable database of over 7,000 short films as well as useful advice on legal matters, a glossary of technical film terms, a list of upcoming film festivals and a large section devoted to the hiring of equipment and film crews, although this is organised alphabetically by first name and not by surname. Despite the less than stellar layout and occasional eccentricities, the hundreds of CVs and variety of listings make this a very worthwhile site. (NB In June 2011 the short film and crew databases were ‘temporarily offline’.
