The European Film Gateway 1914 (EFG1914) is a digitisation project focusing on films and non-film material from and related to World War I.  It started on 15 February 2012 and runs for two years. 26 partners, among them 21 European film archives, are working towards the following  main goals:

• To digitise 661 hours of film and ca. 5.600 film-related documents on the theme of the First World War
• To give access to the material through the European Film Gateway and Europeana
• To build a virtual exhibition using selected objects digitised in EFG1914

EFG1914 covers all the different genres and sub-genres relevant in that time: newsreels, documentaries, fiction films, propaganda films. Moreover, EFG1914 will also give access to anti-war films that were mainly produced after 1918 and which reflect the tragedies of the 1910s.
