The British Film Institute’s (BFI) film and television archive is to be opened to the public.
Visitors to the British Film Institute (BFI), which is in London, will be able to choose items from the collection and watch them free of charge.
Items range from footage of the Queen’s coronation to early scenes from long-running soap Coronation Street.
The BFI archive is the largest collection of moving images in the world, with almost a million items.
Eventually these images will all be available in a digital format.
It is hoped that, in effect, people will be able to create their own private cinema.
