    An online database of over 600 entries from the Association of Moving Image Archivists (AMIA). The portal is designed to provide academics, archivists, artists, curators, educators, exhibitors, filmmakers, programmers, researchers and students with a centralised means of discovery - interconnecting moving image catalogues, services, resources, websites and related information. The database can be searched by organisation, country, genres and type of material. Typically the information given is contact details, a summary of the collection, and the URL. The information is supplied by the institution itself and so necessarily the amount of detail on individual collections is uneven. The site is managed and maintained largely by volunteers and may be slow to update.

The database gives title (and titles in other languages), production country, running time, director, synopsis and festivals where it has been screened.
