Initially it is limited with only 281 titles out of 1.6 million but will grow each month.
About it -
"...it has digitized hundreds of hours of motion pictures...Most of the content in the National Screening Room is in the public domain. Movies that the Library believes to be in the public domain are fully downloadable. Permissions were granted for the inclusion of copyrighted motion pictures, which are only available as streaming files.
This digital offering showcases the wealth and diversity of the Library’s vast moving image collections. The Library has the largest and most comprehensive archive of moving images in the world, totaling more than 1.6 million items.
The first phase of the (ONLINE) project will feature 281 titles and new content will be added to the National Screening Room every month. (Source: https://www.loc.gov/item/prn-18-125/ )
