About platform films
Welcome to Platform Films. Watch socialist videos plus archive material dating back to the 1930s - free!
Discover curated playlists on topics like trade unions, housing, war & peace and Ireland.
We continue the tradition of UK left filmmaking begun in the ‘30s by groups like The Film & Photo League & the Progressive Film Institute.
Platform emerged in 1982, inspired by the legacy of cinema action, a London-based collective whose films reflected the trade union militancy of the 60s & 70s.
Our library includes powerful documentaries like ’Who Killed Mark Faulkner? and ‘Wapping -The Workers’ Story’.
We collaborate with social movements & organisations creating content to raise awareness & inspire change. Join us in discovering a rich history of progressive cinema—and in following our current reportage on the unfolding events of these tumultuous times.
