/film/ Resource Library inconnu ## Board Owner 11/17/14 (Mon) 05:55:21 No.2486

Since we have the ability at 8chan to upload pdfs, here's a thread for sharing interesting books, magazines, and articles related to film.

You can also link to databases and other online resources, such as the Media History Digital Library:

http://mediahistoryproject.org/

> We are a non-profit initiative dedicated to digitizing collections of classic media periodicals that belong in the public domain for full public access. The project is supported by owners of materials who loan them for scanning, and donors who contribute funds to cover the cost of scanning. We have currently scanned over 1.3 million pages, and that number is growing.

> Our Collections feature Extensive Runs of several important trade papers and fan magazines.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but here's a documentary streaming/download service with worldwide access

Doc Alliance Films - http://dafilms.com/

Odd Ubu isn't there besides the godard link. It's an art archive, often the only web copy of art films.

http://bombmagazine.org/archive/category/film

Bomb does interviews given by other artists, lots of good stuff on film. Sharp selection.

>Artforum - http://thequietus.com/film

This caption is wrong. I imaganed an organized archive of all of artforum's film related material. That would be amazing. Instead it's a really mediocre e-magazine. Yuck..

What critics do you guys follow?

this site has a lot of interesting stuff to go through, from chaplin films to old home movie compilations (which are really amazing to watch)

and here is huge ass collection of books about various aspects of film, production, theory, specific directors, and so on. I'm seeding it and will be for the foreseeable future

Yeah UBU is one of the best and absolutely should be listed here. It's got loads of great audio too.

As for critics I don't pay much attention to them (for better or worse). But two that I like the most are Jonathan Rosenbaum and Kent Jones.

I like the Prelinger Archive over there too. Various industrials and other odd material.

Wow, amazing. Shades of Mon oncle and Trafic… I'd like to see a comprehensive investigation of what was attempted with automated 1950's kitchens.

Those concept cars made me think of IMCDB, a site that catalogs all the vehicles used in films. I've used it to research floating cars, rocket cars, etc.

Kent Jones writes for Film Comment and has been involved with various programming and restoration work in New York.

I'm surprised he doesn't even have a wikipedia page.
