Audiovisual archives bring to life the essence of our Caribbean past, including aspects of the social, cultural and physical environment that written archival records have not captured. At the National Archives of Trinidad and Tobago, we believe that it is important to preserve audiovisual archives as a valuable part of our collective memory. This is particularly relevant for post-colonial nations like Trinidad and Tobago that have strong oral traditions.

To celebrate World Audiovisual Heritage Day 2020, we have created a three-part series featuring the work of the National Archives’ Audiovisual Digitization Project, which continues to digitize the Government of Trinidad and Tobago’s historical analogue videos for long-term preservation and access. One of the videos provides a glimpse into life in Trinidad and Tobago in the 1980s. We invite you to view this video by following the link below: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=759576904590426.

Also in this series, we feature the archives of Banyan Ltd.–an independent television production house that has operated in Trinidad and Tobago since 1974. Banyan produced the Anglophone Caribbean’s first soap opera and pioneered innovative local TV programming. It launched the first free-to-air community television in the region in 2003, with 100% local and regional content. Over the years, Banyan Ltd. has amassed an extensive video collection that provides a unique window into our culture and oral history. Through determined efforts, the entire collection of analogue video programmes of the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, such as the popular Gayelle and Caribbean Eye series, has been digitized. The DVD collection of the archives is available for viewing at the National Archives.

For a preview of the Banyan Archives, please follow this link: https://vimeo.com/133565760. For further information and to view the Banyan Archives’ online catalogue, please visit this site: http://www.pancaribbean.com/banyan/archivedatabase.htm.

On the ocasion of the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage the Ethnomusicology department of the Faculty of Music in Belgrade presents the Phonoarchive, the independent unit within its assembly. This year we mark the 30th anniversary of the founding of the Phonoarchive in 1990. by ethnomusicologist, Prof. Dr. Dragoslav Devic whose reel-tape collection with recordings of musical tradition of differnt areas of Serba and former Yugoslavia is the core of the Phonoarchive content.

Collection of recordings of the rich music and dance tradition of Serbia and other, neighboring countries is been constantly enlarged by adding the new recordings of colleagues, ethnomusicologists and ethnocoreologists, professors and students, in line with their profesional filedwork activities.
The importance of our Phonoarchive for the preservation National cultural heritage is huge.

Em homenagem ao Dia Mundial do Patrimônio Audiovisual, o Arquivo Nacional promove o evento "'Alvorada lá no morro': o audiovisual e a cidade", no dia 27 de outubro de 2020, às 14h, através de sua página no Facebook. O evento ficará gravado e disponível no canal do Arquivo Nacional no Youtube.

O tema escolhido este ano pelo CCAAA foi “Your Window to the World" (Sua Janela para o Mundo), colocando em destaque o papel dos registros audiovisuais na vida das sociedades, sobretudo neste contexto de pandemia.

Como diz a declaração do CCAAA: “Os materiais audiovisuais como objetos de patrimônio documental fornecem uma janela para o mundo, pois observamos eventos aos quais não podemos assistir, ouvimos vozes do passado que não podem mais falar e criamos histórias que informam e divertem. O conteúdo audiovisual desempenha um papel cada vez mais vital em nossas vidas, à medida que buscamos compreender o mundo e nos envolver com nossos semelhantes”.

Assim, olhando o mundo através de nossas janelas e através dos registros audiovisuais, esta edição do evento no Arquivo Nacional abordará  a cidade, suas transformações e a questão da moradia, com exibição de filmes do acervo do AN e dos cineastas Ana Maria Magalhães e Sérgio Péo, seguida de mesa de debates.

Programação:

14h - Exibição de filmes:
 
Reidy, a construção da Utopia - trailer, de Ana Maria Magalhães  (2009, 2 min, cor)
 
Mangueira do Amanhã - trecho, de Ana Maria Magalhães (1992, 8 min, cor)
 
Rocinha Brasil 77, de Sergio Péo (1977, 18 min, cor)
 
Filmes do acervo do AN (6 min)
 
14h40 - Mesa de debates com:
 
Ana Maria Magalhães, cineasta;
 
Rachel Viana, pesquisadora de pós doutorado da Casa de Oswaldo Cruz / Fiocruz;
 
Sérgio Péo, cineasta.
 
Mediação: Ana Carolina Reyes

On 27 October, on the occasion of the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, the Instituto Nacional das Indústrias Culturais e Criativas invited 12 students from the Universidade Politecnica, 8 students and a professor from the Universidade Edurado Mondlane, one professor from the Universidade Pedagogica and 2 researchers to participate in an activity related to the worldwide event.

Last evening, China Film Archive's 4K digitally restored version of Linjia Puzi (aka The Lin Family Shop, 1959) had its Beijing premiere in the art theater to celebrate the World Day for Audio Visual Heritage 2020. With an excellent guiding introduction about this film and the restoring background, we spent a wonderful time with the audience to enjoy the new look of the classic film.    
Linjia Puzi undoubtedly leads the most representative films from the period of "17 years" of Chinese Film history. Directed by Shui Hua, adapted by Xia Yan from Mao Dun's literature, it focuses on the destiny of a small shop in a river town of Zhe Jiang in 1931 when the war just began. The story of the shop holding on to its business mirrors the anxiety and dilemma of the whole society at that time and the camera vividly captured people's struggling to survive from the harsh and turbulent social environment during the wartime. Not only it stands out for the exquisite drama but also values as a unique resource of historical research.
The well-known film star Ms. Yulan also played a role in Linjia Puzi, who just passed away in June 27, 2020 in Beijing at the age of 99.

El conversatorio repasará la producción audiovisual en su dimensión patrimonial tanto como huella y memoria histórica, como también fuente de información para el análisis de múltiples abordajes interdisciplinares.
Se hará incapié en el estado de alarma en el que se encuentra el Patrimonio Audiovisual y los trabajos de preservación que se estan realizando en la provincia de Mendoza Argentina.

Gartenberg Media Enterprises presents a rare clip that Tassilo Adam filmed with the cooperation of the Royal authorities, who staged processions, and gatherings, and rituals for his camera. A number of these included representation of animals through dance. As the official ethnographer for the Dutch government of the East Indies, as well as a professional photographer, his moving image footage shows a considerably more sophisticated vision of the Dutch East Indies in the 1920s than other films of the period. Although transferred digitally, this material retains the lustrous sheen of the nitrate on which it was originally filmed.

In 2018, the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia (https://www.nfsa.gov.au/latest/nfsa-acquisition-highlights-2018) acquired this collection of 31 reels of original nitrate from Gartenberg Media Enterprises. GME unearthed this collection in a storage warehouse, and then catalogued and researched the history and provenance of this rare footage. We then identified the NFSA as the long term archival repository for this unique and valuable moving image collection that represents the inflection point of Indigenous peoples with Colonial culture.

The Thai Film Archive and alliances celebrated World Day for Audio Visual Heritage 2020 with the panel discussion on the Challenges of Archives in the World that will never be the same. 

The event began with the presentation of two archival footage about two important political protests in the past. They were good samples of traditional audiovisual heritage. This led to the question; how the rapidly changing digital technology affects archival tasks, which were mainly discussed in the panel discussion.

The panelists were Assistant Professor Maytawee Holasut from Faculty of Liberal Art Thammasat University, Sittisak Rungcharoensuksri a digital archivist from Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn Anthropology Centre (Public Organization), and Thanachai Voraarj, head content creator of Echo, the online media company.

The discussion covered important issues such as the impact of digital technology on archives, the trend of the social media and web archives, the problem of preserving digital-born data, and the redefinition of archives in the digital age. 

The Direction of the cinematography of Sénégal has celebrated the world audiovisual heritage day at its headquarter. Films  restored and digitalized . Directors of the National Archives, Director Archives of the national télévision archives and several filmakers attended this event.

Open discussions were done about how to safeguard the audiovisual heritage archives .

The Saxon State and University Library (SLUB) in Dresden, Germany, had digitized 33 private films by a Saxon State Orchestra member and made them available in its media library. On the occasion of today's "World Audiovisual Heritage Day", a detailed interview with family members is published online, which provides information on the background of Alfred Schindler's passion for film.

_____________________________________________________________

What an exciting topic that would have been for Alfred Schindler: The Sächsische Staatskapelle playing in the Chinese city of Qīngdǎo – in the former German colonial town where German settlers founded the "Germania" Brewery in 1903, the successor of which is still brewing the popular Chinese beer "Tsingtao" and exporting it to more than a hundred countries... Alfred Schindler, a former solo violist of the orchestra, made short films on the many concert tours, about the country and its people. Schindler filmed cars, consumer products and street scenes in Venice, Granada, Toronto and many other destinations.

In September 2020, Alfred Schindler's family presented the films at a local press conference. In the presence of the Saxon State Minister for Culture and Tourism, Barbara Klepsch, and the orchestra director of the Saxon State Orchestra, Adrian Jones, Schindler's daughter Gabriele Schacht spoke in detail about the films; small excerpts from it made those present smile. Since then, the films have been available to everyone in the SLUB's digital media library. "The privately made small films by our longtime solo violist Alfred Schindler are now available alongside the 'official' film and television recordings that were made by the Staatskapelle and show the history of the orchestra from a very special, a private perspective." (Janine Schütz, head of the historical archive of the Saxon State Theater in Dresden, Germany).

The films were digitized as part of the "Safeguarding the Audiovisual Heritage in Saxony" program, which has been receiving analog audio and film treasures from associations, city archives, libraries, television stations and museum collections for two years. As of today, a one-hour interview with Schindler's family members is available online, which provides information about the background of his passion for films. Here Hiltraud Schindler (born 1927) and her daughter Gabriele Schacht talk about the special impressions that the musician's films made during their family screenings. Gabriele Schacht says about the effect on those who stayed at home, locked down in former East Germany without the prospect of ever attaining a visa to the Western world: "What you saw in the film, was eye-opening... How amazed we were at other countries and the different life-styles of their citizens. Later we said: Man, we have to go there, too!"

In the course of the restrictions of the COVID19 pandemic, the recent Asia tour of the Saxon State Orchestra - and with it the two concerts in Qīngdǎo today and tomorrow - was unfortunately canceled a few weeks ago. Music lovers around the world can now go on an imaginative journey to the Far East with Schindler's films instead.

(Please note that the interview was conducted in German)

The Biblioteca de Catalunya joins the World Day of Audiovisuals Heritage since 2006. On that year, the library opened with an exhibition of all kinds of audio and audiovisual documents and players. Most recently, and together with other institutions dealing with the audiovisual heritage, a one-day conference is held every two years.

In this pandemic year, where dancing is almost a private and an indoor activity, we offer a window to our dancing collections, both printed and in audio carriers.

COVID-19 is not going to stop us dancing!

Journée mondiale du patrimoine audiovisuel - Diffusion en ligne du film « Montagne vivante »

C’est en 1980 que l’UNESCO a instauré le 27 octobre comme la Journée mondiale du patrimoine audiovisuel afin de sensibiliser le grand public à la sauvegarde et la conservation des images en mouvement. Cette année, le thème de la Journée est « Explorez le passé en sons et en images ». Alors, à cette occasion, nous vous proposons de voir ou revoir un film phare de nos collections : « Montagne vivante » !

Thousands of important videotape records in our collection are at risk because the machines needed to play them are no longer being manufactured. Many other magnetic media formats are at risk for the same reason, including audio recordings on cassettes and quarter-inch tape.

We have over 188,000 audio and videotapes that require digitisation to ensure their preservation. Although we have been doing this for a number of years, there is still more to do.

After 2025 the skills and equipment needed to digitise these magnetic tape recordings will be harder to come by, and the media itself will have begun to irretrievably deteriorate. That means the time to act is now.

A new project called ‘Future Proof’ signals our commitment and continuing efforts to save the nation’s significant audiovisual heritage. We will be spending $3 million dollars to ensure that a further 30,000 of our most critical recordings are digitised.

The funding announcement coincides with the UNESCO World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, with the theme of ‘Your window to the world’.

La Cinemateca de Bogotá - Gerencia de Artes Audiovisuales del Idartes y la Fundación Patrimonio Fílmico Colombiano se unen a la celebración del Día Mundial del Patrimonio Audiovisual, una iniciativa de la UNESCO y la CCAAA (Consejo Coordinador de Asociaciones de Archivos Audiovisuales), que honra a los profesionales e instituciones de la preservación audiovisual que protegen nuestro patrimonio para las generaciones futuras. Este año, el tema es "Tu ventana al mundo".

Los materiales audiovisuales como objetos del patrimonio documental brindan una ventana al mundo a medida que observamos eventos a los que no podemos asistir, escuchamos voces del pasado que ya no pueden hablar y creamos historias que informan y entretienen. El contenido audiovisual juega un papel cada vez más vital en nuestras vidas a medida que buscamos comprender el mundo y relacionarnos con nuestros semejantes. 

Este año desde la Cinemateca de Bogotá realizamos una selección de tres cortometrajes del director colombiano Lisandro Duque Naranjo que hacen parte de la Colección Fílmica Nacional de la Cinemateca de Bogotá y han sido restaurados gracias al apoyo y coordinación de la Fundación Patrimonio Fílmico Colombiano. Además conversaremos con el director sobre su obra y la importancia de preservar este patrimonio audiovisual para las futuras generaciones.

Conference on the contemporaries of Tomàs Mallol in which the main names of amateur cinema of the 60s and 70s in Catalonia will be reviewed. It will be given by Mr. Albert Beorlegui i Tous, film commentator and co-author of the book El cinema amateur a Catalunya (2009).

Tomàs Mallol was a tireless filmmaker who made an immense work that must be vindicated as one of the best works of amateur cinema in Catalonia. All his filmography was made from the margins of the industry, from the most absolute freedom, with a clear artistic vocation and an obvious formal perfectionism. This idea of cinema always accompanied him, also when he was a spectator and went to the cinema. The directors he liked the best were always those who practiced this idea of cinema.

The Centre for Image Research and Diffusion (CRDI) of the Girona City Council and the Museum of Cinema, present a New Chronology of Audiovisual Heritage. This web resource offers the chronology of the different audiovisual media: cinema, photography, amateur cinema, television/video and sound recordings, from the first inventions for the capture and reproduction of the image and sound, to the present day.

To commemorate the 2020 World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, the Korean Film Archive(KOFA) presents a) a lecture that suggests ways to preserve individuals’ audiovisual materials for independent filmmakers and b) an event that introduces personal audiovisual materials of KOFA users.

These days, public audiovisual archives centered on public institutions as well as private archiving activities are valued more than ever. Thanks to advances in technology, every individual can classify and preserve audiovisual materials with increased efficiency and security. Indeed, there is a growing demand for it. However, there is still a distinct lack of education or systematic programs that could encourage such archiving activities.

Through the lecture, ‘Independent Preservation for Independent Filmmakers’, we can take a look at the importance of independent film and personal moving image collections, and examine concrete preservation methods for them. Audiovisual archivist Kelly R. Haydon was invited to deliver this talk in 2019 as part of the centennial commemoration of Korean cinema, and we are sharing it online so that many people will be able to experience this informative lecture.

This presentation looks at preservation as part of the life cycle of creative work and gives practical advice to filmmakers on what they can do to ensure that their film is accessible long after its premiere. Topics covered include video and audiotape digitization, digital file storage and management, and the all-important metadata.

Lastly, the event, 'Introduce Your Collection' celebrates the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage with more people and refers to the importance of personal archiving activities.

Estonia's most renowned contemporary theater NO99 was closed down in 2019 after 14 successful years and a 100 plays, productions and performances that transformed not only Estonia's theater culture, but also politics and society in general. The theater's archive consisting of more than 60 TB of material (over 1 000 000 video, photo, sound and other files) was handed over to the Film Archives of the National Archives of Estonia. After a year of laborious organising and technical check-up, most of the recordings of the plays are now visible in our film database FIS.

In honour of Home Movie Day and World Day for Audiovisual Heritage

Moving Image Research Collections present a compilation of Home Movies from MIRC's collections that take you on a nostalgic trip across the United States. Compiled by MIRC staff from various Family's home movies from our collections.These films show the beauty of this country through the lenses of different family's memories.

The year 2020 is one for the history books. Various major events happened around the world reaching the climax with the spread of COVID-19.
With the advent of social media and other platforms, we see a lot of images online capturing snapshots of the ongoing pandemic. With the help of apps or simple editing software in mobile or computer devices, people are able to produce creative shorts from mundane activities while in isolation or in quarantine. A lot of people don’t even realize that they have become incidental filmmakers in their own right.
This documentation and online sharing process inspired us to undertake a collection and preservation effort that will later remind us of how ordinary folks or the nation responded to this pandemic.
This is also in support to the Cultural Center of the Philippines’s (CCP) objective of nurturing artists and audiences, for them to appreciate and promote artistic works. 
Through its vimeo channel, the CCP joins the celebration from 27 October to 3 November 2020, by streaming a collection of images showing how Filipinos responded through various creative ways, to the challenges brought about by COVID-19. For despite the pandemic, CCP still wants to make art matter to the life of everyone.

Members of the MSUL's Media Preservation Unit and Vincent Voice Library will launch a new website, "Media Preservation at MSU Libraries", which will include biographies of endangered audiovisual formats found in the collections of MSUL and its branches, descriptions of collections in need of preservation, and a highlights reel featuring unique digitized audio and moving image content.

On this World Day of Audiovisual Heritage our radio show 'Byloo' on VRT Radio 1 gives the opportunity to the listeners to pick their favorite radio fragment from our radio archive.

What is your favorite radio fragment? What would you like to hear again and why?

'Byloo' is an interactive radio program that links the news of the day with music and thus provides the soundtrack of the day.

El programa de radio Contrareloj, conducido por Carlos Ibarra y transmitido actualmente en Rock 101, es un interesante vistazo a la historia del siglo XX, teniendo a la música como eje central El Renegado (Carlos Ibarra) realiza un recuento histórico desde 1960 hasta llegar al año 2000. Así, en cada elección de podcast o sintonización vía web podemos ser parte del universo de un año especifico, adentrarnos a él a través de la música, el cine, la publicidad y dar un vistazo sonoro a la cultura, política, economía y sociedad de ese momento gracias al manejo de diversas fuentes audiovisuales y una cuidada producción.

Thursday, October 22, 2020 - 4:00 pm (PT) – ARCHIVE TELEVISION TREASURES: THE CLASSIC GHOSTS: “THE SCREAMING SKULL” (ABC, 2/14/1973)

Join us, if you dare, for a Halloween-inspired screening of the rare episode “The Screaming Skull,” directed by Gloria Monty. The videotaped gothic horror tale stars ‘60s pop culture icon David McCallum (The Man From U.N.C.L.E) as a man under siege, with good cause, by the ghost of his dearly-departed spouse (Carrie Nye of Guiding Light and Creepshow). The drama co-stars Vincent Gardenia (Death Wish).

In terms of the history of the medium, The Classic Ghosts is noteworthy as an early production featuring a creative and technical team largely led by women, a number of whom were pioneers in television.

Introduced live by Mark Quigley, John H. Mitchell Television Archivist, and Maya Montañez Smukler, Archive Research and Study Center Officer and author of Liberating Hollywood: Women Directors and the Feminist Reform of 1970s.

Thursday, October 29, 2020 - 4:00 pm (PT) – THE VAMPIRE BAT (1933)

Everybody loves Dr. von Niemann (Lionel Atwill), clueless that he his tales of medieval vampirism are a cover to murder the local proletariat to feed the artificial being he has created.

Capitalizing on the moment’s spooky movie craze, Poverty Row producer Phil Goldstone packed the cast with genre luminaries—Lionel Atwill, Fay Wray, Melvyn Douglas—and staged them on cast-off sets from The Old Dark House and Frankenstein. It's foolish fun that plays like a midnight matinee from the old Shock Theater TV package.

The UCLA Film & Television Archive restoration recreates the sensational Gustav Brock color sequence, unacknowledged and unseen since its first run.

Followed by a live Q&A with author Victoria Riskin, daughter of Fay Wray and author of Fay Wray and Robert Riskin: A Hollywood Memoir.

The 61st Festival dei Popoli - International Documentary Film Festival (Florence, Italy - 15/22 November, 2020) will present a tribute to the History of Cinema. Diamonds are Forever, curated by Daniele Dottorini, will present a selection of documentary films directed in the past decades by some well-known international directors.

The 2020 edition is entitled "Memories of the Future". The films will contribute to reshape the idea of Time, letting Present, Past and Future come together and sometimes clash, creating narratives and images that do not refrain from playing with time and reject its pure linearity.

On the occasion of World Audiovisual Heritage Day 2020, Mediateca Toscana - Fondazione Sistema Toscana will organise a preview at the Cinema La Compagnia in Florence during which Alessandro Stellino (Artistic Director of the Festival dei Popoli) and Alberto Lastrucci (Festival dei Popoli Archives) will announce the section that the audience will be able to enjoy during the film festival.

The event will presented also online on the PiùCompagnia Platform.

On occasion of inaguration of this exhibition dedicated to Fellini 100 years anniversary we will celbrate International Adiovisual Day, since the Museum has several examples of audiovisual equipment and equipment used to film and record in the past. 

Montenegrin Cinematheque has created a series of videos presenting different Montenegrin cities through time with material from the archives  and an added soundtrack by Montenegrin alternative bands. The full cycle "Crnogorski gradovi kroz vrijeme" (Montenegrin cities through time) will be present on our official YouTube channel.

On October 27th, all public service broadcasters in the network of the ARD and the German Broadcasting Archive (Deutsches Rundfunkarchiv) will make historical productions from their television archives accessible in the ARD media library for an unlimited period of time. The World day for Audiovisual Heritage 2020 thus marks the start of a new online audiovisual archive offering. Under the label "Retro"  around 9,000 TV-reports from the period before 1966 will then be available in the ARD media library. The offer will be continuously expanded.

In addition to TV-productions from the archives of the public service broadcasters, the ARD media library also provides access to contributions from the former state television of the GDR (Deutscher Fernsehfunk) – a heritage, for which the ARD has been committed to preserving and passing on for around three decades. The project thus makes it possible to research, view and link a large part of the West- and East- German television coverage of the 1950s and 1960s.

National film archive’s curator Jiří Horníček shall present a collection of homemade movies, which NFA obtained last year during the annual Home Movie Day event. He chose several five minutes fragments screens sharing a common subject - Family in motion. 

Focus is given to the presentation of family members using different vehicles for practical reasons as well as just having fun with it (car, cableway, ski, bumper cars, etc.). We will see interesting examples of inventive home filmers techniques who set the amateur camera itself to the motion.

This selection served as the Home Movie Day program in Cinema Ponrepo this year.

The program will feature new restorations, made possible by the lively exchange and cooperation between various European archives. These include a number of films from the silent era which will be shown for the first time in decades with live music to accompany them. The diverse program of film screenings is complemented with a range of presentations about restoration work, lectures, and panel discussions.

Due to the Corona Pandemic, participation in the festival is limited. Film Restored will therefore take place as a hybrid festival live on location and online. The events of the festival (workshop reports, panel discussions and introductions to the films) will be streamed and broadcast on our website: www.deutsche-kinemathek.de/de/besuch/festivals-symposien/filmrestored05

A large number of films from the festival program and a bonus program will be accessible on our streaming site www.film-restored.de from October 27, 20 - though with respect to geographical restrictions ("geoblocking") not from everywhre.
Non-accredited persons can register for the streaming site until 23.10.20.

50 years ago, the premiere of the surreal film REJS by Marek Piwowski took place in Poland. The film quickly became a cult classic. We take the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage as an opportunity to show the restored version of this film as part of our series “Stationen der Filmgeschichte”.

A group of passengers get together for a boat tour to exotic destinations along the Kashubian coast. A stowaway, Tym, sneaks aboard without a ticket. The captain of the ship mistakes him for an entertainer. Initially this stowaway gladly takes on his new role, setting to work at manipulating the passengers and crew into silly and vaguely humiliating games.  

Before long, Tym has got everyone under his thumb and creates his own comedic dictatorship. A memorable performance is given by Jan Himilsbach, an amateur actor who formerly carved tombstones.

In her introductory lecture film expert Lidia Helena Jansen (Polish Institute Düsseldorf) gives insight into the history of the film’s production and its extraordinary use of language as well as facts about its director Marek Piwowski, the screen writer Janusz Glowacki and the composer Wojciech Kilar.

 An event in cooperation with the Polish Institute Düsseldorf.

At this time every year, the Taiwan Music Institute joins the grand event in different ways. This year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we decided to present some precious recordings of Taiwanese music with an online exhibition, which includes the folk songs that had disappeared, a beautiful voice that had travelled around the world, a brilliant composition that was internationally recognized, and the immortal music of a piano duo coming with a romantic story. We hope everybody in the world will enjoy the goodness from the past through the window of the digital archiving presented during the pandemic.

每年的此刻，臺灣音樂館都會以不同形式的活動來共襄盛舉。在新冠肺炎肆虐的這一年，我們將改採線上展覽的方式，與全球分享多筆臺灣音樂史上珍貴的歷史錄音檔案，其中有來自民間失傳的歌聲，以及巡迴世界後返鄉落地生根的美聲，還有將臺灣當代音樂推上國際舞台的傑出創作，跟永垂不朽的雙鋼琴琴聲，讓人們防疫在家期間也能透過數位影音典藏這扇窗，跟著世界一同回顧那些曾經的美好。

The program includes the short film El sueño de los tres retratos (1961), directed by José Ramón Clemente Torregrosa, “Clemenzelig”, an amateur filmmaker from Alicante with an unclassifiable and very modernfilmography, full of irreverent humor.

- The Brilliant Biograph: Earliest Moving Images of Europe (plus pre-film about the restoration)

Compilation film of newly-restored rare images from the first years of filmmaking, presented by our colleagues from the Eye Filmmuseum and the British Film Institute with the support of the European Commission. These films are all photographed with the unique large-format 68mm Mutograph camera, which provided extraordinarily high-resolution images.

To commemorate the World Day for AV Heritage, the Asian Film Archive (AFA) presents a specially curated film programme and online symposium entitled Reframe: The (In)Hospitable World.  

In 2020, our world has reached a new level of inhospitality with the coronavirus outbreak. The (In)Hospitable World film programme explores the power of cinema to represent, reflect, and envision lives in “an unpredictable and increasingly inhospitable world.” [Jennifer Fay, Inhospitable World: Cinema in the Time of the Anthropocene (2018)] The films initiate a rethink of how we can relate, connect and act during the time of crises, how we can cope with the losses and grief while envisioning a possible future, within a (post) pandemic new normal.

Screenings run until 22 November 2020 at Oldham Theatre, with selected films on VOD. Visit https://bit.ly/TheInhospitableWorld for more information. 

Online Symposium

Join the free online symposium of The (In)Hospitable World on Friday, 23 October 2020 from 10am (SGT/UTC 8), streamed live on AFA’s Facebook page and Youtube channels. Visit https://bit.ly/InHospitableWorldSymposium for the full schedule and speaker lineup. 

An illustrious lineup of international speakers will address ecological, environmental, and public health issues represented through Asian cinema: 

1. theorising of Asian cinema in the (in)hospitable world;
2. making films in times of environmental and health crises; 
3. new forms of film distribution, exhibition and spectatorship in a (post) catastrophic time.

Para celebrar o Dia Mundial do Patrimônio Audiovisual de 2020 a Cinemateca do MAM apresenta o projeto Acervo Djalma Corrêa: Música e Cultura Afro-Brasileira.

Desenvolvido pela Balafon – Núcleo Brasileiro de Percussão, com o apoio do Rumos Itaú Cultural, o projeto prevê a organização, a catalogação, a digitalização e a difusão do acervo reunido pelo instrumentista e compositor Djalma Corrêa que registra inúmeras manifestações culturais, em particular ligadas ao patrimônio afro-brasileiro considerado imaterial como a capoeira, maculelê, afoxé, samba de roda, congo, terreiros de candomblé e xangô.

Nesta ocasião apresentaremos uma seleção de materiais do Acervo Djalma Corrêa e uma conversa do gerente da Cinemateca, Hernani Heffner, com a participação de Djalma Corrêa, Cecília de Mendonça, Marco Dreer, Marcos Issa, José Caetano Dable Corrêa e Hernani Heffner.

In compliance with the Ordinance of the President of the Council of Ministers of 24th October 2020, the Cinema Massimo will keep closed from 26th October. The screening won't take place.

On the occasion of the International Audiovisual Heritage Day, the National Museum of Cinema proposes, as part of the "Cinema Ritrovato al Cinema" project, a special screening of Nanni Moretti's Caro Diario, restored by Cineteca di Bologna.

CARO DIARIO by Nanni Moretti (Italy-France 1993), Prix de la mise en scène at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival.
Divided into three autonomous and complementary chapters (In vespa, Isole e Medici), the movie remains, almost thirty years after its release, a surprising turning point for a single author of our cinema: a collective autobiography, where the director's personal obsessions - the past, the houses, the dance, the (bad) critics… - merge with those of an entire country, unable to remember, communicate, listen, understand.
Cinema Massimo (Sala Soldati) - 27 October (9pm).

Eye Filmmuseum announces the forthcoming release of The Brilliant Biograph: Earliest Moving Images of Europe (1897-1902) on its new streaming platform Eye Film Playerᵇᵉᵗᵃ. Everybody can enjoy this film free of charge from the comfort of home starting October 27th.
The Brilliant Biograph features newly restored 68mm films made between 1897 and 1903. Eye Filmmuseum houses around 200 Mutoscope and Biograph films on the original 68mm format, making it the largest such collection in the world. Because of their obsolete format, the films were digitally restored at a resolution of around 8K by Haghefilm Digitaal and Cineric laboratories.

Thanks to funding from the European Commission’s ‘European Tribute to Film Heritage’ programme, Eye digitized 50 selected films and, in partnership with the British Film Institute, produced a compilation of some remarkable films of high quality, accompanied by a specially composed score by Dutch composer Daan van den Hurk.

The online release of The Brilliant Biograph on the streaming platform follows premieres in Amsterdam, at the Lyon Lumiere Film Festival, at the Giornate del Cinema Muto 'limited edition', and distribution through art houses in the Netherlands and Belgium.

The release also coincides with World Day for Audiovisual Heritage (WDAH), celebrated annually on 27 October. The day provides an occasion to raise awareness of the need to take urgent measures and to acknowledge the importance of audiovisual documents. According to WDAH, audiovisual materials as documentary heritage objects provide “a window to the world as we observe events we cannot attend, we hear voices from the past who can no longer speak, and we craft stories that inform and entertain. Audiovisual content plays an increasingly vital role in our lives as we seek to understand the world and engage with our fellow beings.”

Eye Film Playerᵇᵉᵗᵃ offers free movies and rentals from the internationally renowned Eye collection. No account is needed to watch the selection of free films. The aim of Eye Film Player is to share the treasures from the collection online, so that they can be discovered and enjoyed by everyone. As of November 2020, new titles will be added on a monthly basis. The official worldwide launch of the Eye Film Player is scheduled for January 2021.

The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia is celebrating the power of home movies.

Home movies capture candid moments of family life, holidays and special events. They can also record history as it happens and the unguarded moments of celebrities.

The earliest footage in this collection is of a Higgins family picnic in Hobart, in 1909. There are scenes of The Beatles and Winston Churchill, the Melbourne Olympics and Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation.

Also featured are behind-the-scenes glimpses of artists, circus performers, hairdressers and holidaymakers.

From Elias Querejeta Zine Eskola in Spain, the students from Film Preservation Studies are very excited to announce that we will be celebrating the Heritage Day on the October 27th 2020.

For this day we have prepared two different online seminars.

The first one will be attended by Antoni Muntadas and Santiago Eraso. It will discuss the importance of preservation, creation and divulgation with the main goal of creating new vital discourses about reality.

Antoni Muntadas is an artist and a pedagogue. He uses this two different practices to activate AV archives where the methodology is very important.

Santiago Eraso was the main director of the project ARTELEKU. ARTELEKU was a piooner video-art media library based in the Basque Country. It was also an archive itself. After its disappearance an online archive was born from all the materials that were shown and created in this center.

The second seminar will be attended by Solimán López and José Ramón Alcalá Mellado. It will be a discussion about how technology has helped to create new ways of thinking an archive and how this new archives allow to form a new ideology around art and AV materials.

Solimán López is a contemporary artist specialized in digital art, science and technology.

He is the founder of the first Digital Art Museum, the Harddiskmuseum. This project pretends to create an archive of digital art and at the same time rethink about the classical concept of museums, art and how society perceive archiving digital art.

José Ramón Alcalá Mellado is a professor at the University of Castilla-La Mancha. He is the director of the International Museum of Electrography.

He was also head of the collection and the archive of contemporary art in the faculty of Fine Arts from Cuenca.

We are very happy to invite you to log in and come to listen to this special guests.

Sign up.

Flevolands Archive: IJsselmeerpolder films
Elize Weijers of the Flevolands Archive talks about the unique film collection of the Rijksdienst voor de IJsselmeerpolders that was responsible for the design of the drained IJsselmeerpolders. Much of the work was recorded on film. 92 films from this collection were recently digitised. Elize examines the digitisation process and discusses the challenges she and her team faced.

Sound and Vision: the Westerborkfilm
In 1944, the Jewish prisoner Rudolf Breslauer was commissioned by Camp Commander Albert Konrad Gemmeker to shoot a film about life in Camp Westerbork; this film was never finished. Since 1997 the film material has been in the custody of Sound and Vision. Valentine Kuypers and Paulo Veiga da Fonseca of Sound and Vision talk about the reconstruction and restoration of the Westerbork film. The Westerborkfilm was added to the Unesco Memory of the World Register in 2017.

Eye Film Museum: The Brilliant Biograph
Annike Kross of Eye Filmmuseum talks about the restoration of the films from the collection of the Mutoscope and Biograph Company, one of the first film companies. The films contain unique images of London, Paris, Amsterdam and Berlin. Eye made a compilation of fifty one-minute films with the restored films.

It is festival in conjunction with this year's 'World Day for Audiovisual Heritage' celebrations that elevate audiovisuals on the UNESCO agenda; as one of the most impactful mediums and platforms in the world today. The 7 days online festival will feature screenings and discussions, especially in the context of the Memory of The World's programme.

The event is an attempt to raise the UNESCO agenda at the national level, using the digital approach as one of the current post-pandemic COVID19 approaches. In addition, it is also a space for implementation to build the agenda related to film in UNESCO globally, which has been given less attention at the national level.

The festival will feature 11 programme, among others, as an effort to show how the world, especially Malaysia can adapt to the new norm due to the COVIC19 pandemic, without denying the need to continue past activities and aspirations through current digital platforms and mediums.

The list of the 11 programme is :

1. Documentary screening 'Khazanah Dari Utara'

2. Opening of the 'World Day for Audiovisual Heritage' Celebration 

3. MOW nomination sharing session

4. Special night screening

5. Forum - "Audiovisual & Malaysia di Memory of the World"

6. Special Award of Appreciation

7. Basic Film Preservation & Restoration Workshop

8. Special Documentary Screening 'Kuala Lumpur Towards UNESCO City of Film'

9. Online Exhibition of 'UNESCO Memory of The World'

10. Launch of the 'Malaysia Audiovisual Treasures' Book

11. Closing Ceremony & Prelimianary Launch of UNESCO Kuala Lumpur Film Festival 2021'

To celebrate World Day for Audio Visual Heritage the IFI Irish Film Archive is celebrating the work of Academy Award nominated filmmaker Patrick Carey, specifically his 1970 short film Errigal. Part of a series  of lyrical and evocative films depicting the landscape, flora and fauna of Ireland, this stunning documentary is set against the scenic backdrop of Mount Errigal in County Donegal.
The mountains of Donegal are depicted like fairytale characters, where the hero Mount Errigal competes with neighbouring villain Mount Muckish. A fantastical narrative explains that the landscape is ‘a battleground where the weapons are the elements themselves’. Dramatic footage of storms and lightning blends with a superb score by Irish composer Brian Boydell.

To accompany the film which is featured on the IFI's online platform the IFI Player, Archive staff member Gavin Martin has written a blog discussing his work scanning and remastering this observational and reflective work. 
 

The Bulgarian National Film Archive will proudly present some of its collection at the archival cinema ,,Odeon'' in Sofia.

El 14 de abril de 1931, un cineasta desconocido grabó la proclamación de la Segunda República española desde una ventana de la Puerta del Sol en Madrid. Hasta ahora, estas imágenes habían permanecido inéditas. Esta sesión celebra su recuperación con una proyección de esa pieza y otros materiales (en muchos casos sin montar) en torno a este fundamental suceso histórico.

El primer bloque, presentado por el historiador Julián Casanova, contará con las siguientes obras:
• Proclamación de la República en Madrid (Daniel Jorro, 1931). España. DCP
• Proclamació de la República i Diada (Lorenzo Llobet Gracia, 1931). España. DCP
• Salida de palacio de Alfonso XIII en 1931 (Autor desconocido, 1931). España. DCP
• Proclamación de la II República española (1931). España. DCP
• Sucesos del 11 de mayo de 1931 en Madrid (1931). España. DCP

En el segundo bloque, tras una introducción por parte de Filmoteca Española, se podrá ver la película recuperada gracias a la colaboración con el George Eastman Museum:
• Proclamación de la II República española (Título atribuido) (Autor desconocido, 1931). España. 35 mm

Sesión gratuita hasta completar aforo; es necesario reservar asiento a través de entradasfilmoteca.gob.es.

The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia (NFSA) and the Olympic Foundation for Culture and Heritage (OFCH)  announced that Cathy Freeman’s gold medal win at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games has been preserved for future generations using an innovative, sustainable, long term storage technology: synthetic DNA.  

On 25 September 2020 the footage was projected on the sails of the Sydney Opera House, to mark both Freeman’s historic achievement, and its preservation on DNA.  

The project is a world first, using emerging DNA data storage technology to preserve moving image for archival purposes. It is also the first Australian video ever to be encoded on DNA.   

The master copy of the race, owned by the OFCH, is stored in Switzerland on magnetic tape - an obsolete technology prevalent 20 years ago. Once digitised the resulting file occupies 1 gigabyte, but it will now be kept in microscopic synthetic DNA for thousands of years. The DNA copy will be stored in a vial the size of a AAA battery, which can be put on a shelf for thousands of years without additional maintenance. 

Die von Studierenden des Master-Studiengangs Filmkulturerbe der Filmuniversität Babelsberg KONRAD WOLF organisierte Veranstaltung nimmt die Materialität von Filmton inden Fokus und macht dieses wesentliche, aber in der Rezeption oft vernachlässigte, Element von Filmen sichtbar(er).

Mit den Spielfilmen "Berberian Sound Studio" (R: Peter Strickland, GB/D/AUS 2012) und "Blow Out" (R: Brian De Palma, USA 1981) stehen zwei Thriller auf dem Programm, die sich auf selbstreferentielle Art mit dem Thema Filmton auseinandersetzen. Den auf der Leinwandhandelnden Personen dient Tontechnik als machtvolles Mittel zur gegenseitigen Manipulation. Die Wirkung verfehlt auch die Zuschauer*innen im Kino nicht, während diese gleichzeitig dabei zusehen und -hören können, mit welcher Sensibilität und Komplexität Filmton zum Einsatz kommt.

Der renommierte Filmtonmeister und Musiker Frank Behnke berichtet in einem Vortrag von seinen praktischen Erfahrungen.

For the first time, in IRAN, we stablished an NGO in the field of audiovisual heritage.

We hope to gather Unattended materials & AV documents in our national archive.We are planning to present this event, on Oct. 27, the world day of audiovisual heritage.

OSULP Diversity Scholar and audiovisual archivist Valeria Dávila will share her experience re-assessing Jim Larison's 1984 “Farmers of the Sea,” a Oregon State University-produced 16mm film documenting aquaculture practices in the US, Japan, Scotland, and Panamá.

UNESCO is organizing an online policy dialogue among memory institutions and other stakeholders to identify and discuss policy gaps in the digital preservation of documentary heritage at risk. In so doing, the Organization aims to build an international policy agenda for digital preservation that will unpack the cultural, economic, technological and legal aspects surrounding it. To learn more about the event, please consult the news article. 

The policy dialogue will take place on 27 October 2020 via ZOOM and will be split across two sessions at 8am CET and 5pm CET to accommodate an international audience across different time zones. The first session will address questions about cultural identity and sustainability, while the second will focus on technology and legal frameworks. Participants can use the same registration link for both sessions. The entire event will be livestreamed on UNESCO’s YouTube channel, and available for viewing at any time.
