Our older cine film collection is safely stored in the East Anglian Film Archive. Many have been transferred to video and can be found in their online collection.

From the video era we have collections generally running around 80 minutes. These are mainly on DVD, some on mini-dv. Older collections on video tape are being transferred to DVD and will then become available for hire. We have the pick of competitions and selected material created for the love of making movies rather than for profit.

To look for a compilation to hire:

use the DVD/Tape titles list.
