Disclaimer – quality and content
BFI Replay features thousands of videos and programmes from the 1960s to the 2010s.
The quality of video varies. Some videos may have incomplete or imperfect sound and image, or other flaws not normally experienced with professional film and video today.
The BFI and partners have taken steps to exclude unacceptable material and to identify and label sensitive material with content and/or trigger warnings.
But due to the high number of videos involved, the BFI and partners have not been able to view everything. They cannot guarantee that all sensitive content has been identified.
Some videos may include language and attitudes which were common or widely tolerated at the time, but are unacceptable today.
Other videos may include content (for example, images of medical procedures) which some viewers may find upsetting or triggering.
Parents and guardians are responsible for supervising their children’s use of BFI Replay.
Please report any inappropriate content using the REPORT THIS CONTENT link available on each video.
