I guess it should be unsurprising that even a short as stellar as Robert Drew's Faces of November(1964) isn't listed. Just submitted it. We'll see how it goes.

Has IMDB even ever heard of the BFI? It seems like every new DVD release adds another list to the site.

Has IMDB even ever heard of the BFI? It seems like every new DVD release adds another list to the site.

And I've still got a number of sets to go through (COI, British Artists, GPO, National Coal Board), all of which contain "missing titles". But then perhaps it says more about the BFI's current re-mapping of British filmmaking - unearthing numerous gems and byways previously unseen by viewers and ignored by academics - than it does the IMDb.

[antnield]

One more BFI disc for today, this time the missing supporting shorts from their collector's edition of Night Mail

I'm making my way through the Edition Filmmuseum Kluge set and it appears that IMDB is missing most everything after 1986. Zedz made his excellent filmography here- but did he submit anything to IMDB? If not, his list should suffice for the IMDB entries.

[knives]

Marc Isaacs' Travellers isn't listed. Second Run (who put out the DVD) say it is 48 minutes and from 2002.

That way madness lies. I doubt we'll ever see a comprehensive list of Kluge's television work, and I doubt that my meagre list catches more than 5% of it. Still, the imdb listing gives a completely misleading account of his career ("Oh, how nice that the old man's been reclining in semi-retirement since 1986") and it would be nice to goose it up.

Here's a bit of an odd one, but they're missing the teevee show (spunoff of a web show) Las nuevas e inesperadas aventuras de Enjuto Mojamuto. It's a spanish show made this year by someone named Joaquín Reyes. Here's the site, if that helps.

Also Tobias Gundorff Boesen and his animated film Out of a Forest are MIA.

[antnield]

Missing title that appeared as an extra on the BFI's The Open Road:

Across England in an Aeroplane (1919-1920, UK, 10mins, Photography: Claude Friese-Greene)

[GaryC]

One missing title is Ken Cameron's 1974 short Sailing to Brooklyn. I did submit this a couple of years ago, but the IMDB never added the title. Admittedly information about it is lacking - all I have is a mention in this speech by Jan Chapman and one in David Stratton's book The Avocado Plantation. Cameron's other two shorts from the 70s, before his feature debut with Monkey Grip, are listed on the IMDB.

[knives]

Would it be possible to fix the year on Tony Scott's One of the Missing which is from 1968, but is listed as 1971
