Screenocean has been appointed clips sales agent for the BP Video Library, a massive treasure trove of material spanning more than a century and filmed in over a 100 countries.
Although BP might not normally be associated with film making, the collection is highly respected by researchers, historians and film makers. BP is one of the most successful producers of industrial films, winning more than 100 film awards including an Oscar for the short film “Giuseppina”, four Oscar nominations and seven BAFTAs.
Early oil explorations are faithfully recorded along with local colour and landscapes from Indonesia, Colombia and Algeria. Formative motor sport is also represented, while for the social or media historian there is a rich source of advertising and promotional material.
Tom Blake, CEO of Screenocean said:
“We are confident Screenocean can help unlock the commercial value of this wonderful archive. With over 15,500 items in this one library, realising its potential depends on providing high quality, searchable access to the global market. This is exactly where Screeenocean fits in.”
