British Film Institute (BFI)In 2006, 7digital and the BFI launched the BFI Movie download service. The store is accessed from the BFI’s website and offers users in the UK 50 films to purchase as download to own.
The catalogue is increased over time meaning that there is always something new to find.
It features rare and hard to find early works by renowned directors, as well as classics and shorts. BFI members also get one free download per month.
Because of the complicated nature of film rights, the store is restricted to users in the UK.
Store Features
“The BFI film download store provides a new
distribution channel for short film, features and other material, which is unlikely to meet a wide DVD audience.”
