Description of repository / collection image holdings:
Comprised of more than 10,000 film titles (mainly in 16 and 35mm format) from the silent era to the present, the Archive has strong holdings of world cinema, avant-garde, and classic Hollywood film, and has growing collections of contemporary German cinema, American independent film, educational newsreels, original materials from defunct film houses, camera negatives, and collections relating to avant-garde and documentary filmmakers. The collections consist of projection prints, original print negatives, fine grain masters, sound elements, reversal prints, outtakes, original camera rolls, and other film elements.
What we have in VIA:
At this time the HFA has only a very small selection of film posters in VIA. The posters were selected primarily for their graphic quality, approximately 1600 items in the poster collection have yet to be scanned or photographed.
