About Film Links Gateway

Film Links Gateway is a wide reaching but selective collection of websites relating to film and the media both in the UK and internationally. The database is researched and edited by BFI Information Services.

The aim of FLG is to assist users in finding current and specialised information on film, TV and the media quickly and efficiently.

Our intention is not to provide a comprehensive directory to all available sites which have a connection to the subject area. Instead, sites are considered for inclusion with the intention of providing information that will be of most help to our users in terms of education, information, creativity, cultural diversity and current awareness. To help users identify the sites which will be most relevant to their requirements we have provided detailed annotation. We have focused on websites which provide free information, are educational and often hold databases and bibliographies.

Although the gateway is selective, it covers a broad subject area, ranging from the history of film and TV, to genre and individual directors.

The information needs of interested individuals/students, the education community, relevant organisations, the media industry and film-makers are taken into consideration in the selection process.

We are not accepting new submissions for Film Links Gateway as we are currently reviewing the services the BFI National Library offers to users including Film Links Gateway.
