Full Details

The BUFVC (British Universities Film & Video Council) is a representative body which promotes the production, study and use of moving image, sound and related media in higher education and research. 
To assist members in finding the content and information they need a series of databases are available. The databases help in finding any programme broadcast in the UK, an educational DVD from a niche distributor, to mainstream websites and a film from the most comprehensive database of newsreels in existence:
