Tip: Crash the Research Party

Subject-specific databases such as Art & Architecture Source and Film and Television Literature Index. is where art/film historians and scholars are having their research party, sharing with each other their scholarship. Throw names of artists, groups, filmmakers and their works that interest you into the database; then "listen to" the conversations about them: how scholars have studied them? If you don’t yet have specific names in mind, entering keywords of topical themes, and observe what films are being associated with these topics, how and why?
