ROUND-TABLE |
HOW RESEARCH REDEFINES
FILM HISTORY
Several European schools and universities have recently developed training programmes in connection with film heritage and archives, focusing on their preservation, restoration and circulation. Instead of considering these programmes as a path towards a career or other involvement in the industry, this round table discussion will examine how they allow students to experiment in a way that feeds into the work of professional programmers and broadcasters.
To the degree that these training programmes are sheltered from economic forces and imperatives, can they be spaces of experimentation activating an alternative approach to the history of film, distinct from the one put forth by the industry?
Moderation: Antoine Guillot (France Culture)
Guest: Pablo La Parra (coordinator of the Research Department at EQZE in San Sebastian), Floris Paalman (director of the Master Preservation and Presentation of the Moving Image at the University of Amsterdam), Markus Ruff (Head of the Archive Section at the Berlin Arsenal), Léa Morin (independent researcher and programmer).
Other speakers are likely to complete these round tables. More information coming soon.
We sincerely thank all the institutions that shared their restoration projects with us.
