The British Film Catalogue

First published in 2001. The standard work on its subject, this resource includes every traceable British entertainment film from the inception of the "silent cinema" to 1994. Now, this new edition includes a wholly original second volume devoted to non-fiction and documentary film--an area in which the British film industry has particularly excelled. All entries throughout this third edition have been revised, and coverage has been extended through 1994.Together, these two volumes provide a unique, authoritative source of information for historians, archivists, librarians, and film scholars.
