Introduction >>> After a certain number of years, the CIA, like many other agencies, turns over its films and other documents to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). The lengthy list of CIA films at the Archives has never been publicly released, but researcher Michael Ravnitzky requested and received a copy from NARA. It's posted in two formats at the link above (the plain text version looks better online). Many of the films were created by the CIA, and some - such as news reports and the occasional Hollywood movie - were not. Unfortunately, there's no indication of authorship in the list, though you can sometimes tell by the title. You can request a copy of any of the films under the Freedom of Information Act. Send requests to National Archives and Records Administration More info on making a FOIA request to NARA is here. Any request should mention the Record Group (RG), the Series, Item, etc. (all the descriptors listed for that film in the spreadsheet ). Here are the fields: RG | Series | Item | Reel | Format | Gauge | Footage | Type In addition, requesters should be aware that they might be able to view the films at NARA at no cost, but to obtain a video copy the first requester for any particular film will likely have to pay for the creation of a video master, and then a dub from that master. |
