Series III contains materials for individuals who worked on films or wrote about them, but weren't mainly directors or film critics. These include cameramen or film theorists, actors, and screenwriters.

This series contains pre-war fliers, pamphlets, programs, and weekly listings of film showings at movie theaters primarily during the pre-war period. Also included with many of the programs are newspaper clippings. The first file contains early Meiji handbills with some from the Taishō period (1920s) as organized by Makino. Files are then organized alphabetically by city, theater name, title (when known), and then number and date (This retains Makino's organization by location and theater name). The majority of fliers are from theaters in Tokyo (see Subseries XII.10: Movie Theater Handbills/ Chirashi: Tokyo). For these theaters, they are further organized alphabetically by location within the city of Tokyo: area of Tokyo, theater name, title, and then number and date. Some programs in this subseries are numbered and dated, while others are not numbered nor dated. The descriptions column includes the name of the film production company that managed the theater where known.

Series I contains the journal articles, newspaper articles, scrapbooks, storyboards, photographs, programs, fliers, and some scenarios for films pertaining to specific directors all organized by Makino Mamoru under each director's name. Also included are articles written by Makino and other authors about specific directors and their films, interviews, and printed material. Subseries I.17 are files of the above items related to the named directors in alphabetical order by family name.
