Abstract

This paper is focused on the current situation of moving image archives in the frame of the information society from the point of view of the production and diffusion of their documentary stocks, as well as of its positioning on the Internet. Two suggestions are made: placing the most part of filmic resources online and interconnecting institutions holding those resources, which would promote the usage of filmic documents in a collaborative and distributed way. We exemplify this by showing an I+D universitary project currently under development. This project deals with the progressive online publishing of the films of a single director owned by a public film arhival institution. In fulfilment of the proposed objectives, we analyze the current state of art in relation to cinematographic documentation and the institutions that take care of the conservation and recovery of the cinema. We introduce theoretical aspects on the matter and consider this task as a problem involving general issues such as national film heritage and its relation with the international framework. As a result of all this, different Internet sites holding movie archives both in Spain and abroad are reviewed, stressing visibility and usability factors.
