The Arctic Documentary Films at Risk in Barents Region Project (Afbare)
has launched a database on arctic documentary films, which is available
online at:
http://arcticcentre.ulapland.fi/afbare/index.asp
The database contains information on approximately 35,000 documentary
films from the Barents region, mainly from Murmansk Oblast, Arkhangelsk
region, and Finnish Lapland.
Information in the database is mainly in English, but authors and
original titles are also listed in Russian and Finnish accordingly.
Detailed information, including scene-by-scene descriptions and
previews, is available for more than 1,000 digitized films. Films are
from the collections of TV Murman, TV Pomorye Archangelsk, and YLE
Finland.
The Afbare project surveys and digitizes old documentary films in the
Barents region and priority is given to films dealing with arctic
indigenous people, arctic nature, society, and exploration.
