Welcome to the great British film and television show!
Visit the Mediatheque at BFI Southbank and view hundreds of titles at the click of a mouse - for free!
Simply log on at one of the Mediatheque's viewing stations, designed by award-winning British architects Adjaye/Associates, and start enjoying highlights from the BFI National Archive - the world's greatest and most diverse collection of film and television.
www.bfi.org.uk/mediathequeFrom home movies to feature films, documentaries to kids' TV, many titles have hardly been seen since their original release or broadcast - if at all. The Mediatheque is the place to make new discoveries and get reacquainted with old favourites.
New titles are added every month. The Mediatheque's digitised collections will grow to provide an unrivalled portrait of Britain across the history of film and television - from Blackfriars Bridge (1896) to Little Britain (2004).
