We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

the Film the Future and You Not only the future of the Cinema itself, but its incalculable influence on the future of society, are largely in the hands of those whose faith in the film is taking an active form today. The British Film Institute offers one effective means of focusing constructive opinion on the Cinema’s development — and the force of its arguments is directly related, of course, to the strength of its membership. It is the British Film Institute which has pioneered the educational use of films, which maintains the ever growing National Film Library, and which keeps film enthusiasts in fifty countries in touch with one another and with the Cinema’s cultural progress. To be a member of the Institute costs two guineas a year. In return you gain the satisfaction of taking a positive part in raising film standards, and tangible advantages in the form of free monthly and other publications — Sight and Sound is one of them — and reduced rates for the hire of films from the National Film Library.
