In addition to published work on cinema, this article also includes Denis Gifford's film credits.
Gifford's involvement in cinema fanzines dates back to the early 1950s, and he continued to write for the fan press well into the 1980s, long after he was well established, in large-circulation magazines such as House of Hammer.
Gifford also conducted a large number of recorded interviews with vintage showbusiness figures, including actors and filmmakers, intended for personal reference.
Biographic details may have been fully or partially published earlier in Gifford's The Illustrated Who's Who in British Films (1978).
In addition to writing extensively on cinema history, Gifford also scripted, directed and photographed a number of newsreel, information and commercial short films.
