John Frederick Huntley (18 July 1921 – 7 August 2003) was an English film historian, educator and archivist.
His connection with the Telekinema during the Festival of Britain led to his being appointed as a programmer at the new National Film Theatre for a time.
[2] According to film collector Kevin Brownlow, Huntley was the most accessible of the BFI's staff because of his skill at bending the rules.
It has worked on countless archives-based documentaries from around the world, along with museum projects, adverts, educational resources, art installations, where ever archive film is enjoyed.
Directors Amanda Huntley and Robert Dewar together with their team of film archivists and restorers received the Focal International Award for best Archive Company of the Year in 2023.
