The American Film Institute Catalog by ProQuest is a national filmography documenting the history of American cinema. Cataloguing currently covers the years 1893-1993 comprehensively, with additional records covering selected major films from 1994 to 2015. Drawing on the expertise of specialist staff at the AFI, it is a key resource for any educational institution, library, or film organization that is involved with the research, study, and teaching of film.
Every film produced on American soil or by American production companies is indexed from the birth of cinema to the present day. New records are created by the AFI editorial team and added each year.
