Using the Mediatheque
BFI Southbank's Mediatheque is the place to explore the BFI National Archive, for free.
Using the BFI Mediatheque is easy - turn up on the day or book a viewing session in advance. Check in at the desk inside the mediatheque and then log on to a viewing station. Proof of age may be required, as only age-appropriate material is made available to younger users.
