New Resource Trial: Socialism on Film

We are delighted to have trial access to 2,000 Documentaries, newsreels and feature films by Soviet, Chinese, Vietnamese, East European, British and Latin American filmmakers.The films date from the early twentieth century to the 1980s.

Sourced from the archives of the British Film Institute (BFI), this resource makes available the collection of British communist Stanley Forman. The films were produced almost exclusively in the communist world and later versioned into English for distribution in the West.

All the films included in this resource have been digitised from the original 16mm and 35mm film reels.  The trial will run for three months
