History

The Children's Media Foundation is the successor to two previous organisations concerned with children and media in the UK.

London Tales - the first of the BFI Children's Film Foundation collection

As a not-for-profit company the CMF was previously known as the Children's Film and Television Foundation which was itself a successor to the Children's Film Foundation.

The CFF produced children's films in the 1950's and 60's and early 70's, which are now stored in the BFI archive.  Titles in the catalogue are available on DVD and can be purchased from the BFI Filmstore.

The complete archive can be explored in detail in the CFTF Catalogue and clips from the films can be seen on the CFandTF channel on YouTube.

Our other predecessor was the campaign organisation Save Kids' TV.
