FilmFour is a British digital television channel, screening Channel 4-like films (mainly non-blockbuster fare, generally popular independent and arthouse fare).
The films displayed on FilmFour generally run in definable strands. The strands screened at the original time of writing (April 2004) are (with examples from FilmFour's website (http://www.filmfour.com)):
- 1800: Magic Hour (e.g. Lawrence of Arabia (1962) (http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0056172/))
- 2000: The 8 Escape (e.g. George Washington (2000) (http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0262432/))
- 2200: Made in Britain (e.g. Birthday Girl (2001) (http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0188453/))
- 0000: Extreme (e.g. A Clockwork Orange (1971) (http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0066921/))
In addition to its main channel and its timeshifted variant (FilmFour +1), a third channel, FilmFour Weekly, screens four films across the week — at the same time each day, to make it easier to catch a film at least once.
