An excellent (if unofficial) resource for film scholars and Tarkovsky buffs, this site features news and articles about the Russian director, as well as links to other resources elsewhere on the web. The look of the site is appropriately austere and no-frills but contains information not easily accessible elsewhere, including English translations of writings originally in French, Italian, German, Polish and Russian. A list of documentaries about Tarkovsky is illustrated with screenshots, but no moving images.

This history resource features a crisp, clean design and has a wide range of nicely-illustrated, easily searchable articles, reviews, podcasts, videos and interviews. Although it is aimed at a broad audience rather than a specifically academic one, there is much here that will interest teachers and researchers. Some of the content is directly concerned with pedagogy, such as this piece on history in the classroom which rehearses some of the recent arguments between politicians and academics on how history should be taught, and argues that the use of audiovisual materials in the classroom (such as Blackadder Goes Forth, in teaching the First World War) is more nuanced and critically engaged than the way it tends to be presented by politicians and in the mainstream press. Elsewhere Matthew Jones writes about UCL’s Cultural Memory and British Cinema-going of the 1960s project and among the site’s podcasts is a series on ‘Iconic Texts’, in which academics talk about documents which have had a profound historical impact, such as the Communist Manifesto, Thomas Hobbes’ ‘Leviathan’ and Mary Wolstonecraft’s ‘Vindication of the Rights of Woman’.

This site is one of the outcomes of a research project led by academics at the Universities of Sussex and Warwick. The focus is on new writings about global forms of queer cinema, based mainly, though not exclusively on scholarly models from queer theory and film studies. There is a mixture of short articles and longer essays, as well as multimedia work and video essays. A resources page has links to other online studies and other useful information, including an interactive map showing 256 LGBT/queer film festivals which have existed around the world since 1977.
