The Harvard Film Archive is one of the largest and most significant university-based motion picture collections in the United States, with a collection of 40,000 audio visual items, a growing number of manuscript collections, and nearly one million still photographs, posters, and other promotional materials from around the world and from almost every period in film history. Through a combination of preservation and access, the HFA supports the research and study of cinema at Harvard and beyond.

In response to the Covid-19 shutdown, a set of three Teaching Showcases from the HFA's collection are now available to support remote teaching of filmmaking practice and history. For additional teaching resources, please reach out to the HFA Collection Archivist.
