- Description
- Film & Television Literature Index (FTLI) is a comprehensive bibliographic
database covering all types of writing, including industry papers, news journalism, and
scholarly academic journals on topics for film and television. Its coverage includes Film
Journal International, Journal of British Cinema & Television, Film
Criticism, Post Script, and Variety, as well as technical publications
such as SMPTE. FTLI also includes most all existing international film and
television publications such as Cahiers du Cinema, Cinema in India,
Cinemamaya, Filmkultura, Segnocinema, and Kinetoscopio.
Subject coverage includes film & television theory, preservation & restoration,
writing, production, cinematography, technical aspects, and reviews. The information is
gleaned from cover to cover indexing and abstracts for more than 300 publications and
selected coverage of 300 more. The database is a combination of the vendor's own holdings
with the indexing from the State University of New York at Albany's Film Literature
Index from Film and Television Documentation Center.
