In 1973, the Film and Television Documentation Center at the State University of New York (SUNY) published the Film Literature Index, the first periodical index devoted to the literature of film designed for the scholar, the student, and the general reader. The index has since expanded coverage to include television and video productions.

The Film Literature Index annually indexes 150 film and television periodicals from 30 countries cover-to-cover and 200 other periodicals selectively for articles on film and television. The periodicals range from the scholarly and critical to the popular.

The Film Literature Index is known for its comprehensive indexing system that includes more than 2,000 subject headings for detailed analysis of articles and reviews.
