If conducting research you can call up particular films or use a keyword filter, and browse information on specific filmmakers and film productions. Alternatively, simply browse through genres, subject, place and decade to while away the hours!

What:
Based in Manchester, Skyliner is an award-winning blog which shares stories about art, architecture and history with a view to encouraging residents to love the city they live in.

Every city is plentiful of interesting sights and stories that are at risk of being forgotten. There is public art which has been made within our lifetime which goes uncredited and will forever do so if no questions are asked about it. Skyliner aims to save these stories and archives.

Eventually, Skyliner aims to be a nationwide database of locations and stories from across the UK.

Why we like it:
Skyliner uncovers hidden architectural stories and helps its readers to engage with their cities and take on fresh, inspiring perspectives. Have a look here, you might be surprised with what you find.
