Left Field Cinema is curated by Mike Dawson. The website hosts reviews, articles, podcasts and a forum for examining mainstream cinema from alternative perspectives, and unearthing more obscure films from world cinema and the independent scene. Left Field Cinema is not film criticism, it’s film recommendation and analysis. Contributions are all grouped under themes such as Misunderstood Modern Cinema, Comparative Examination, Documentary Milestone, or Asian Avant-garde.

There are over 9 million people in the UK with a hearing difficulty who may be dependent on subtitles in order to enjoy DVDs. One of the primary aims of this website is to promote subtitled DVDs by ensuring that subtitle users are able to find subtitled DVDs that they want, and encouraging studios to release more subtitled DVDs. The site lists thousands of commercial DVD releases (both current and deleted) and users of the site have indicated to what extent they are subtitled (all content, main feature and some of the extras, main feature only, not subtitled, probably subtitled). Unfortunately, the the majority do not have any subtitles and these are featured in the ‘Hall of Shame’. A section of the site giving statistics on subtitling is listed as being under construction and there is a Speak your Mind section for users’ comments.

This new resource is dedicated to digitising and providing access to the many films sponsored by the British Council from the 1930s up to the 1960s. At present fifteen films from the 1940s have been digitised and are now available for free online viewing. These documentaries reflect the work of great directors such as Mary Field (Development of the English Town), Philip Leacock/Paul Rotha (Island People) and Ken Annakin (London 1942), as well as an apprenticeship for future ones such as John Krish (editor of Election 1945). The films are designed to promote an exploration of the British Council archive as well as debate and discussion on, for example, the role of these films in the development of a British brand for overseas consumption and how this might have changed over the years. The site also features a wiki listing of all known British Council films by date, beginning with 1933, with the space for discussion.
