| Purpose |
The AFI Catalog provides comprehensive filmographic information on over 45,000 films,
including more than 17,500 made in the early years of film from 1893 to 1910. The database
includes approximately one million personal name entries - including more than 500,000 actor
entries and 27,000 director entries.
Each film record has been meticulously compiled by the experienced
editors and filmographers at the American Film Institute (AFI). Search records by keywords; film titles; cast, crew, and character names; subject; genre; release year and more. Most records include extensive plot summaries.
