Film Studies Research Guide

Huge database of film information, searchable by title, character, company, actor, genre, subject and more.

This free database provides a quick way to browse or search a comprehensive list of films.

Click "Search" at the top of the screen to get started. Note that this searches for article citations, but doesn't provide the article. When you find an article title you want to read, copy and paste the title into the Library's WorldCat search to see if we have access. See link below. For more directions on how to request an article the library doesn't have, see "How to: Interlibrary Loan (ILL) Step-by-step".

This catalog searches the books held at the Cedar Rapids and Iowa City campus libraries, and eBooks and articles available through Library subscriptions. It's also an index to books and articles available outside of Kirkwood through Interlibrary Loan. **SEARCH TIP** The term "motion pictures" is sometimes used instead of "film" when searching Library databases. Try both when searching for books and articles.

This database searches popular and academic magazine, journal, and eBook titles related to film and television. It is a Library subscription database, so requires k number and password to access.

MRQE aggregates reviews, news, interviews and other material associated to specific movies.
