Movietone News
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Movietone News produced cinema newsreels from 1929-1979.
In Australia, Movietone and Cinesound were competitors for newsreel coverage, but have now combined.
The University of South Carolina Newsfilm Library has a portion of the Fox Movietone newsreel collection, with the rest of it owned and managed by the Fox News Channel. The majority of the collection is located in News Corp-owned warehouses in New Jersey, mostly unseen since the newsreels were originally shown in theatres. During its early years, Fox News Channel had a weekend show which played the newsreels.
Licensing for Fox Movietone newsreels is handled by the British company ITN, as part of its archive, including Fox News Channel, Reuters, Granada and the UK network Channel 4.
