A online networking site has very recently been created with the intetniton of uniting postgraduate film students across institutions and across national borders. Created by a PGR film student for film PGR students it offers the opportunity to network electonically, removing the financial and geographical restrictions which often keep PGR students apart.

Among the opportunities presented by this network are:
- Establishing contact and initiating discussions with PhD students with the same research interests
- Creating groups within the network according to research areas or to extend discussions initiated at academic conferences
- To promote events, conferences and workshops organised by or of interest to Film PGRs
- To post film clips and videos made by PGRs and video's that document successful events or initiatives hosted by PGRs.
- To share information about useful online research sources and advice on areas such as giving papers or organising conferences.
... And probably many more!
