Film Studies For Free brings you an entry that has come about because of a piece of Facebook crowdsourcing by film curator extraordinaire Herb Shellenberger. Shellenberger requested from his friends any links they had to free online streaming platforms for films and moving image work. He was especially interested in ones that are run by archives, and most interested in those outside the US/UK.

A wonderful list of links was rapidly assembled to a wide variety of international platforms, only some of which FSFF has tweeted or blogged about before. So, courtesy of Shellenberger and his friends, below is the list (with acknowledgement given to the individual suggesting each link - thanks especially to Patrick Friel for his extensive contribution, along with Herb).

If you have any further suggestions to make for the list, please use the Comments thread below.

Note: OpenCulture.com also has a great list of free online films, and currently links to at least two of the channels suggested by the crowdsourcing above). It sourced its list from the following collections: Public domain collection of film noir at Archive.org - Boing BoingThe Best: Movies in the Public Domain - WiredFilms in the Public Domain - WikipediaFimoculous list of Hulu MoviesAbout.com: Download the ClassicsSalon: The Future is Almost Now.

I want to suggest the next Polish film archive online from Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw. It is an audiovisual library of Polish artists film works and documentations of their artistic practice. See for example: https://artmuseum.pl/pl/filmoteka/artysci/zbigniew-rybczynski

Great list.

On our website you can find a lot of material (still growing) among them Dziga Vertov's Kinonedeljas and soon his Kinopravdas.

An amazing resource for radio & television materials is the Peabody Awards Archive: http://www.libs.uga.edu/media/collections/peabody/pbdatabase/index.html . Its holdings include most of the submissions to the notable award since 1940. While not all material is digitized, the staff will take requests to digitize programs from researchers. Highly recommended!

Thanks to Grazyna, the Austrian Film Museum and Jason Mittell. I added the two links to the latter resources. Grazyna, the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw was already on the list having been recommended by Herb Shellenberger. Thanks for your recommendation of the Zbigniew Rybczynski entry!
