New Video Portal For Film Buffs, Powered by YouTube

Attention film buffs!

The American Film Institute (AFI) just launched a new video portal on AFI.com featuring hundreds of videos from its vast archives. AFI is utilizing YouTube's APIs in order to stream videos directly from AFI's YouTube channel, as well as other great clips curated from YouTube. In addition to accessing the video content, users can post comments on the AFI.com video site as well as embed the videos on other sites, blogs and social networking pages.


The collection will be regularly augmented with videos selected from the AFI Archive, which contains 10,000 hours of material produced during AFI's 42-year history, much of which has never been seen by the general public. Be sure not to miss great clips such as "Alfred Hitchcock On Mastering Cinematic Tension" or "Steven Spielberg: The Toughest Thing For A Director".

We're thrilled that the YouTube APIs can help unlock such amazing material. Nice work, AFI!
