About the European Film Gateway
The EFG Portal gives you quick access to hundreds of thousands of film historical documents as preserved in European film archives and cinémathèques: photos, posters, programmes, periodicals, censorship documents, rare feature and documentary films, newsreels and other materials. Targeted at scientific researchers and the interested public alike, the EFG offers a look at and behind the scenes of filmmaking in Europe from the early days until today.
Tomorrow, on 5 April, the new EYE film museum will open its doors to the general public. Located on the north shore of the river IJ in Amsterdam, the new building houses four cinemas, an exhibition space of 1200 square meters, the basement with the digitised collections, an educational room, museum shop and restaurant-café.
