MOVIETONE
British Movietone is arguably the world’s greatest newsreel archive, spanning the period 1895 – 1986. Shot on 35mm film, this global archive contains many of the world’s enduring images and is rich in coverage of news events, celebrities, sports, music, social history, science, lifestyle and quirky. It was the first newsreel to include sound, the first to use colour film, the first to break many exclusive stories and is your first and last stop for newsreel footage.

The rights to British Movietone News are managed by AP Archive, which also holds a complete run of the newsreel. There are also substantial holdings within the BFI National Archive, largely owing to an arrangement between British Movietonenews and the BFI to preserve the original nitrate copies (1929-1951).
