For Researchers

Film is alive and constantly evolving.

It reflects and questions a certain time and, like other art forms, offers unique keys to study the present and the past. The Royal Film Archive is happy to guide you in your research, whether professionally or as an enthusiast. The archive is also involved in national and international research projects and strives to share the results and insights arising from these with a wide audience. On this page you will find useful tools to start your research and some examples of projects and publications.

Publications

Over the years, we have contributed to various publications and have also published a number ourselves. These were both publications for a specialist audience as well as for a wider audience. Below you can find a selection from this diversity of publications.
