ChristieBooks anarchist film site to close
http://www.christiebooks.com/fmd_query.html
Brightcove (or film server provider) has just informed us that as of December 17 they will be closing their network account programme ‹ which is the service we are using ‹ and moving to a new platform, Brightcove 3. As the charge for transferring our film archive will be £26,000.00 and we have only received donations totalling £30.00 to the film archive since it launched last year, we are unlikely to be able to continue providing this service beyond December 17 this year. We are looking out for other servers and service providers so if anyone has any suggestions please let us know.
Meanwhile, there are 760 unusual and interesting feature films, documentaries, shorts, talks and some animations up there ‹ so if you haven't checked them all out yet you have just over a month to do so before they disappear.
Hasta la vista!

yes, posters please bear in mind that this was an old thread bumped from 2008
I'm going to send Stuart an e-mail about this, this is a real shame. I hope we can help them out.
