From October 2022, Artfilms content will migrate to a brand new streaming platform, Bloomsbury Video Library*.

Artfilms offers more than 2000 films from top artists and independent filmmakers.

The collection showcases the global diversity and breadth of the arts, with content that originates from Australia, the UK, the USA, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Ghana, Hungary, Indonesia, Japan, Pakistan, Rwanda, and Switzerland. Subject areas covered include Visual & Applied Arts, Film Studies, Media Studies, Music & Dance, History, Philosophy, and more.

Artfilms includes masterclasses, documentaries, and interviews -- content that entertains, educates, and informs.

Once live, with Artfilms content as its foundation, Bloomsbury Video Library will provide a rich range of thematic streaming collections for students, teachers and researchers across the arts, humanities and social sciences, and will offer customers an upgraded user experience that includes:

• Personal account feature enabling users to save videos to view later; organize saved items into folders; and create video clips from the content
• Functionality to view trailers for all films on the site
• Fully responsive and mobile-friendly interface
• Improved accessibility with closed captions, and transcripts coming to the platform soon after launch
• The ability to display metadata such as age rating, language, and content warnings that are based on industry standards for video
• Unsubscribed content will be hidden by default

*Filmed performances and other theatre videos will move to our Drama Online platform. Access for existing customers will not be affected. Please contact your account manager for more information.
