Filmform proudly presents the new database. The database contains information about films and video in distribution and the artists/filmmakers.
The database is still under construction and is therefore not complete. The database will be continuously updated. The big amount of reference copies that are available for research at the Filmform office are not yet visible in the database.
We hope that the database will be world wide useful. Welcome!
