The films section lists films with ‘the Troubles’ as the theme. There is also video footage of a selection of Physical Memorials in public spaces.

The European Children’s Film Network is a database service offered by ECFA (European Children’s Film Association). The databases are intended as sources of information on European high-quality films for children and young people in order to help to improve their distribution and the marketing. The website was started in 1999, covering most films for children that were produced in European countries since that year, including some films that were produced a few years earlier, but appeared at festivals or in distributions in 1999 or later. The database gives title (and titles in other languages), production country, running time, director, synopsis and festivals where it has been screened.

Users of the site are encouraged to submit suggestions for films to be included on the database.

Other features include news items related to the animation industry and an image gallery, which allows users to see images of various cartoon characters taken from popular films. Many films are streamed on the site.

Your Paintings is a website developed by the BBC and the Public Catalogue Foundation (known now as Art UK) to create a complete record of the United Kingdom’s national collection of oil, tempera and acrylic paintings and make this accessible to the public. The site can be searched by artist, by gallery or other institution, and by what’s in a painting, for example the subject of a portrait, places depicted, or objects such as trees and houses. The subject access is somewhat unwieldy to use and often brings up very large numbers of ‘hits’. The quality of the images is generally excellent and displayed alongside details of the gallery where it can be seen. To support the project for schools the site offers a range of online resources including: slideshows of paintings with ideas for use in the classroom; profiles of careers in the art world; and a guide to artistic styles and movements.

MAVISE is a database edited and published by the European Audiovisual Observatory listing tv and on-demand audiovisual companies and services in Europe. As of August 2017 there are 42 national TV markets, over 12,000 television channels, and 1,200 on-demand audiovisual services, 9,100 companies (broadcasters, packagers, transmitters).
The main aims of MAVISE are to provide better knowledge of the audiovisual market and more transparency, essential if the market is to operate properly and to ensure the laws governing it are relevant. MAVISE enables the European Audiovisual Observatory to provide the audiovisual industry, institutional decision-makers, and the general public with all the information they need about developments affecting the European market for television and on-demand audiovisual services even more regularly and efficiently than before. Companies in the audiovisual sector may also benefit considerably from this project.
A drawback is that the text on the site is set in too small a font size and thus difficult to read.
