0Interesting list even if i have most of them.Please though consider "Underneath The Arches".I last saw it on a 16mm print which i hired 30 years or more ago.Never been shown on tv or at the NFT.Would love to see it again.By the way i presume that the whol;e films will be available not just extracts.

Thanks for your message. The titles listed are just a cross-section of the 50 we will be including. Underneath the Arches is not currently scheduled, but materials/rights permitting we hope to add it at some point in the future.

And, yes, all titles in the Mediatheque are whole films - not extracts.

Elstree calling...Tell England...Dandy Dick....fantastic!! If you're taking requests, Mediatheque, I know you have a nice print of Walter Summers' Suspense (1930), I think it's tremendous and only a handful have seen it...... Suspense (1930)

Bit of a Bay Window, what??

Please please please please please can we have some Jack Buchanan? Preferably my favourite film "That's a Good girl". I know this is shameless of me but I am desperate.
