Welcome to the Kinoeye archive. The ultimate aim of the archive is to provide a near-as-damn-it definitive index of intelligent and thoughtful English-language analysis of cinema from the new Europe on the web. Covered by this resource are both external sites and all articles that have appeared either in Kinoeye the journal or its previous incarnation as a column in Central Europe Review. This particular page, however, is devoted to other online journals and sites that are generally of interest.

We are always looking for more sites to add. Please contact us if you have any suggestions.

The journals list is divided into:

• English-language film sites
• English-language sites of general interest
• Non-English-language film sites of interest
• Web resources

Web resources

The following resources have no film content, but are useful tools for checking details such as cast lists, diacritics on names and filmographies for directors:

• Internet Movie Database:
  
  A huge selection of films from around the world, but don't
  
  trust the diacritics�they're invariably horribly wrong.
• �esk� filmov� nebe: (Czech Film Heaven)
  
  Alas, this new version of the site no longer carries diacritics
  
  on any names or titles.
• Film Polski:
  
  Has diacritics, but the search function won't work if you don't
  
  enter the correct diacritics on names and titles.
• Mafilm.hu:
  
  Helpfully has an English navigation option and the option to
  
  do searches without diacritics.
