What it does
LOLA Clips is an archive-footage agency combining represented collections, themed curations and footage research. Its catalogue includes broadcast material, home movies and contemporary footage.
The New York City curation brings together home movies, documentary scenes and television material from several decades. Clip pages identify the partner archive, year and format; some include a detailed timecoded shot list. The Face the Press interview, for example, lists individual exchanges within the programme.
Use Add to Clip Bin to collect candidates in an existing bin or create a named one. The Purchase panel directs orders to the sales team, so the public catalogue supports selection before an agreed licence. A Download control on a clip should not be treated as permission to publish it.
LOLA’s research service also looks beyond the visible catalogue through international archive contacts. It is useful when a brief depends on a specific programme or period and the initial search has not located the required passage.
