Liverpool: A City on Screen emerged from a collaboration between the BFI, North West Film Archive, North West Vision and Media, the University of Liverpool and Liverpool Libraries and Record Office to provide a rich and celebratory moving image history of Liverpool to mark the city's year as Capital of Culture. The resource, part of the BFI's Screenonline website devoted to British film and television history, brings together some 60 films and programmes reflecting the city's vibrant social, cultural, industrial and political history, richly contextualised by specially-written expert analysis, all available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

This highly innovative project unites film and TV material from both regional and national collections - much of it rarely or never before publicly shown - with local and national expertise reflecting the contributions of the diverse partners and others. The result is a unique resource, presenting and explaining archive material in a vivid, accessible, engaging way. The site has been extremely well received, with Screenonline's audience in the north west nearly doubling after its launch. Proposals exist for a series of co-ordinated projects under the banner Portrait of Britain; similar resources for Bradford and Birmingham are already under development.

Brief Synopsis in English (up to 100 words):

“Cold War, Hot Spies,” transcends traditional soufflé productions—celebrity interviews, amusing antidotes, salacious gossip—with an examination of the turbulent socio-political forces that shaped the storylines, locations and characters—heroes as well as villains of a landmark series which aired during the height of the Cold War, Viet Nam and the Peace Movement (1964-1968).  

Reason for submission in English (up to 150 words):

Brief Synopsis in English (up to 100 words):

The Battle of the Somme is one of the most successful British films ever made and gave its 1916 audience an unprecedented insight into the realities of trench warfare, controversially including the depiction of dead and wounded soldiers. As a pioneering battlefield documentary, its very concept outraged commentators on its release, inaugurating a debate about the on-screen depiction of combat that continues to this day. Its use of a staged sequence to represent the opening of the assault also set the scene for continuing controversy about the ‘truth’ of the documentary format.  

Reason for submission in English (up to 150 words):

The Imperial War Museum’s DVD release of The Battle of the Somme is more than the presentation of a fine digital restoration of a documentary of international importance- it recreates the cinematic power of a film that mesmerised audiences in 1916. With the choice of two musical soundtracks and a host of contextualising extras, this DVD excites scholars and researchers but it has also received praise from non-specialist publications and websites, showing that the film has been made accessible to those drawn to it through their deeply felt personal connections to the battle and the memory of the Great War.

Brief Synopsis in English (up to 100 words):

From the early days of clockwork cameras to the latest High Definition technologies, WildFilmHistory is an online guide to the pioneering people, landmark productions and technical innovation behind one hundred years of wildlife films. Explore the history and heritage of wildlife filmmaking and discover ground-breaking films, ‘behind the scenes’ photographs, essential production information, as well as a unique collection of oral histories from key industry people. Although a popular TV genre, wildlife films are often only shown once or twice before being archived by broadcasters or forgotten by individuals. WildFilmHistory’s aim is to make this material available again, to as wide an audience as possible.  

Reason for submission in English (up to 150 words):

WildFilmHistory is a resource designed and managed by Wildscreen, a UK charity working to promote conservation and an appreciation of biodiversity through wildlife imagery. Promoting the resources available on WildFilmHistory is a crucial part of the organisation’s awareness-raising mission. We believe that winning a Focal Award would help us in our quest to raise the profile of WildFilmHistory and encourage more people to learn about the natural world. We would also like to recognise and celebrate a resource that has received archive footage from so many organisations and individuals across the industry.
