Museum of the Moving Image Goes Online

I just read about this in Variety this morning and haven’t had a chance to fully explore it yet, but New York’s Museum of the Moving Image launched the Moving Image Source today, a website edited by Dennis Lim “devoted to the history of film, television and digital media.”

There is a database portion that contains links to “more than 400 of the best moving-image related resources on the web, ranging from scholarly and popular journals to film-related libraries and archives.” According to the website, all of these links have been vetted by the editors and are broken down into categories and types. A few clicks pointed me to a terrific look at Fritz Lang from the BFI.

There is also a calendar section that tracks retrospectives, festivals and exhibitions from over 100 venues all around the world and there will be original articles from “leading critics, authors, and scholars” that relate to these and to new DVDs or books on film. One of the articles up now is Chris Fujiwara’s look at Tatsuya Nakadai written in anticipation of a retrospective of the Japanese leading man’s films beginning June 20 at New York’s Film Forum.

The calendar entries and articles will be updated every Thursday.
