Cinematographical Database
This database contains information on films (mainly documentaries) on Oceania (without Australia and New Zealand) that has been collected by Saskia Goëken in pre-WWW and pre-DVD times: 1984-1986. The list of distributors is from that period too and may not be valid anymore. Purpose of the database is to save information on older films in the hope this will contribute to the saving of the films themselves. Many of the films are in the database 'Moving Images of the Pacific Islands' of the University of Hawai'i at Manoa, but not all. Distributors may differ too.
