The ASC (American Society of Cinematographers) maintains a publicly accessible site including, if it’s your cup of t-stop, a bulletin-board type forum wherein their members advise each other and opine on everything from esoteric camera techniques to the promised, if problematic, dominance of “digital cinema.”

Cinemedia: the AFI’s film and media directory which, they announce, is “the Internet’s largest.”

FilmCommissionHq is an expanding and, to judge by their site, efficiently organized online directory offering unit production managers, directors, and studio staff “regional expertise” contacts for film, television, and video projects’ location shooting.

Facets: a not-for-profit Chicago media-arts organization’s collection of “over 35,000” hard-to-find videos, laser discs, and DVDs. Their library is extensive, their emphasis is on Art, their approach is exuberant, their quarterly newsletter—Facets Features—is wide-ranging and absorbing.

New York Times’ Oscar Archive: unlimited access to the paper’s reviews of every Best Picture Academy Award winner since 1929 (and over a hundred related articles), available for just under ten bucks a year.

Kino: interesting historical articles—and catalogue—from this art-house/foreign-language film distributor and classic video supplier.

Salon: the daily online magazine of vigorous political/cultural coverage, listed here because the movie reviews — found in its Arts & Entertainment department — are very well written.
