Cinefiles: UC Berkeley's Pacific Film Archives Film Document Image Database

UC Berkeley's Pacific Film Archives Cinefiles hosts a film document image database of full image scans of various news articles, film and festival program notes, and other Pacific film-related ephemera.

CineFiles is a database of reviews, press kits, festival and showcase program notes, newspaper articles, and other documents from the PFA Library's collection. The collection contains documents from a broad range of sources covering world cinema, past and present. CineFiles currently includes materials on the films of over 175 directors whose works have been featured in PFA's exhibition program. Materials on additional directors' works are added regularly. The database also contains retrospective indexing of film titles beginning with "A" and of files describing Soviet silent films from PFA's collection. Brief authority records, including title, director, country, and year, are also currently available for over 25,000 films. When retrospective indexing is complete, the CineFiles database will hold over 200,000 documents. New titles and document images are added daily.


I enjoy browsing by director.
