How we operate

Footage Farm's collection covers a wide range of subjects, from conflict to culture, educational and science films, sports to travelogues. We specialise in the public domain and the great majority of our material is provided rights-free. We also represent private collections on a licensed-basis.

Research

1. The search bar will allow you to find relevant material from keywords. You can narrow down the results by date, location or technical aspects with the advanced search option.

2. Clicking on individual results will allow you to see all relevant information on the material as well as a shot by shot description of the footage.

3. Our collection is also arranged by themes and sub-themes to give you an overview of the subjects we cover.
