The site features films from across Europe but is particularly strong in its selection from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, France and Poland.

    This streaming site offers a wide selection of films curated by a team of experts, with a particular emphasis on world cinema, lost classics and important but difficult to find films. The films themselves are not currently available in the United Kingdom due to licensing restrictions, but its online film journal Keyframe contains an interesting selection of content, presenting a mixture of articles, interviews, reviews, festival information and video essays on aspects of film history and theory. Two examples from the video essay selection give a sense of the site’s ambitions to provide contextual material to go with the films: a look the 1965 film Four in the Morning, featuring a young Judi Dench, and an analysis of how Carl Th. Dreyer’s created a cinematic uncanny in his 1932 film ‘Vampyr’.

    The national Dutch film centre for film culture and heritage has a broad mission, covering film education, supporting the industry, film restoration, promotion and marketing. To open up its collections to as wide an audience as possible it has an ongoing digitisation programme. The Scene Machine aims to let the viewer explore the archive in an intuitive way, presenting film fragments clustered around themes and keywords, which can then be juxtaposed, filtered, combined and saved. It’s an interesting approach which aims to encourage a more interactive approach to the material without sacrificing the films’ archival and historical importance.

    Culture Unplugged is a dynamic, not-for-profit organisation with a ‘vision and aspiration to integrate disparate parts of the self and the global human society. It aims to achieve this, primarily by leveraging the power of new media and extending the effort to offline events and actions.' To this end, the website invites filmmakers from around the world to upload films on social or spiritual issues for online viewing and holds regular themed ‘festivals’ following which films are kept in the archive for future viewing. Festival themes so far include Green Unplugged, Humanity Explored, Spirit Enlighened, and We Speak Here. There is a facility for viewers, if they so choose, to submit financial contributions which are passed on to the filmmakers. The website has a very international feel and is somewhat chaotic. However, there are some interesting films that are searchable by festival theme, genre, geographic region, popularity and duration. fillMedia network is a separate section of the site which provides ‘a platform for cross-pollination of ideas, spirit and knowledge among storytellers, content producers, professionals from social/scientific arenas and global audiences.'

    This site archives the material that was part of the material created by and for the Somewhere art organisation led by artists Karen Guthrie & Nina Pope. On 20th March 2002 it presented the live internet broadcast "TV swansong" - an homage to TV past, present and future. This project is described as "a cross-media art project commissioning 8 new works which reflect on the current state of flux in television with idiosyncratic responses to its past, present and future." The site’s layout in fairly simple, while the graphics appear to be deliberately rough and chaotic. Originally available free in 30 sites in the UK, the original 11 broadcasts by 8 artists can be viewed using Real Player at three speeds, while a couple of new pieces have since been added.
