To celebrate 60 Years of MIFF, we present to you the MIFF Online Archive. 59 editions of the Festival are now available to you to browse or search through. We hope the archive will be a resource used by festival goers, film lovers, students, historians and whoever else would like to learn more about the types of films the Festival has screened over the years, or indeed to track the trajectory of the Festival’s curatorship, its Directors and its scope.

A big thank you to our MIFF volunteers and partners who have helped make this archive possible.

Search options currently include: ‘Festival Year’, ‘Director’, ‘Title’, ‘Production Year’, and ‘Country’. Please note: there may appear a few typos here and there as our database comes to terms with special characters (my, there was a huge amount of Eastern European cinema screened at the festival back in the 60s!) and other items that need manual tweaking. We have over 12,000 film titles and over 9000 directors’ names to check over, which we are doing. Similarly, occasionally there just isn’t the credit information (director, year etc) to include so these fields may be left blank, we will aim to fill them in with further research.

Stage 2 development will involve further contextualisation of film content through added articles, links and images. The Archive will be an ongoing body of work post the 60th anniversary.  

Enjoy The Archive: 60 Years of MIFF!
