“The Film Reference Library offers an extraordinary, valuable asset ... an extensive library of literature on the cinema and films on video. Its books, periodicals, films and archival holdings make it a rich research source, particularly in the area of Canadian cinema. For developing filmmakers and scholars as well as established, professional researchers, it is an essential resource.”
–Blaine Allan, department head, Film Studies, Queen’s University
“If I want to watch a video for research, or I have a film industry question or simply wish to read a periodical, I go to the Film Reference Library; it is a wonderful resource. Why? Pure and simple: the staff. They know the reference material, resources and collection inside and out, and always point me in the right direction in a fraction of the time anyone else could ... over and over again ... and I'm grateful.”
–Jeff James, screenwriter and Library user
