En conmemoración del Día Mundial del Patrimonio Audiovisual exhibimos el trabajo que realizan estudiantes de la DiPRA (Diplomatura en Preservación y Restauración Audiovisual) bajo la consigna «Ventanas de Latinoamérica» siguiendo el lema de este año propuesto por UNESCO y el Consejo Coordinador de Asociaciones de Archivos Audiovisuales (CCAAA) para este día: «Su ventana al mundo».

Taiwan Film and Audiovisual Institute (TFAI) is dedicated to the preservation and restoration of Taiwan’s film heritage. During its 2022 WDAH event series, it will hold a variety of free film screenings and events that are open to the public.

On October 27, an opening ceremony and brief showcase of TFAI’s restoration achievements will kick off the event series. Theatrical screenings of three restored films, A Fei (1983), The Wandering of Three Siblings (1963), and Blade Runner (1982), as well as one open-air screening of classic Taiwanese-language film Tarzan and the Treasure (1965), will run on TFAI’s premises.

On October 28, another outdoor screening of the restored war film Eight Hundred Heroes (1976) will take place in Kaohsiung City of southern Taiwan in collaboration with Kaohsiung Film Archive. On October 29, an auction of rare vintage film posters donated by famed writer and television host, Mr. Kevin Tsai, will conclude this rich and meaningful event series that sheds spotlight on Taiwan’s film legacy and national memory.

Beykoz Kundura, with a history that dates back to early 1800’s and has since become a notable industrial heritage of Turkey, continues its annual celebration of 27 October UNESCO World Day for Audiovisual Heritage (WDAH) with a special screening. You can watch the silent film selection The First Nasty Women of Cinema, which remembers the amazing and ground-breaking performances by some of the early women comedians out of the history of film on 30 October Sunday at Kundura Cinema, free of charge.

Cinema’s Nasty Women

Kundura Cinema’s silent film program from last year, Cinema’s Nasty Women, which drew great attention continues with part two. The program, named after Donald Trump’s speech where he called his rival Hillary Clinton “a nasty woman” as an insult at the 2016 Presidential Debate and which suddenly became a global feminist movement’s slogan, gives a shout out to the women comedians who refused to be defined by the concept morality and gender roles, and who had no regard for the rules. The part two of the program, which is a homage to once famous women comedy actors whose names have since been forgotten, brings together a special collection of silent short films from USA, France and Italy made between the years 1899-1914. Curated by the Silent Cinema curator of the EYE Filmmuseum Elif Rongen-Kaynakcı; film scholar, writer, feminist and queer activist Laura Horak; and film and media writer Maggie Hennefeld, the program will screen 6 short films for the first time in Turkey and pianist, musician and producer Gonca Feride Varol will accompany the screenings with her live performance.

GONCA FERIDE VAROL Born in Istanbul in 1986, Gonca Varol started playing piano at the age of 7. During high school and university, she played keyboard in various rock, blues and pop bands and took Jazz Harmony and Jazz Piano lessons from Baki Duyarlar and Burak Bedikyan. She played at jazz clubs, bars, notable music festivals and on TV shows. She released her meditative album “Renew Your Mind” in 2020. She accompanied the films Shoes (Lois Weber, 1916) and Berlin: Die Sinfonie der Großstadt (Walter Ruttmann, 1927) at Kundura Cinema’s silent film screenings; as well as “East is West” at A Summer Night’s festival with her piano. Varol still works as a music producer at Snapmuse Music Production company and is involved in music creation as an arranger, vocalist, songwriter, lyricist, pianist and keyboard player.

To celebrate the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, Moving Image Research Collections (MIRC) at the University of South Carolina is publishing on its YouTube channel , Maybe Next Week Sometime by David Boatwright, a documentary film from 1975. This film traces the roots of music created among African American communities in South Carolina in the 1970s. It examines black roots music as it existed in the rural South of the United States, and includes music ranging from folk and rock to spirituals and the ceremonial music of the Yoruba people of South Carolina. Produced by the South Carolina Arts Commission, a public arts organisation that toured artist-made films in the Southeastern United States in order to make them more visible to the local population, this documentary has survived in what seems to be a unique copy, unfortunately displaying some color fading, conserved by MIRC. We are happy to present this film to the largest audience possible, and join UNESCO and the Coordinating Council of Audiovisual Archives Associations (CCAAA) in celebrating documentary heritage as promoting just, inclusive, and peaceful societies.

Eighty years ago, Mr. R.A. Waddle, the maker of a home movie, hid his film in the organ pipes at St. Andrew’s Cathedral when the lives of his family were threatened by the then-impending war. This move ultimately saved the home movie, and allows us to see not only the dynamic, private lives of the Waddle family and their friends, but also local landmarks and festivities in a pre-WWII era (1931-1942).

Marking the importance of safeguarding and preserving moving images, 27 October has been designated as the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage since 2005. Ranging from television broadcasts to home movies, audiovisual materials allow us to peer into lived realities that are different from ours. Since the camera was introduced to Singapore in the early 20th century, our landscapes have shifted drastically. In a rapidly changing environment, audiovisual materials serve as a valuable resource that grounds us to a collective memory.

Assistant Audiovisual Archivist June Pok and Assistant Conservator Cassandra Tang co-presented at the FIAT/IFTA World Conference 2022 held from 4 to 6 October 2022. Titled "Who Says Archives are Boring? The National Archives of Singapore Speaks the Language of Children", the speakers described NAS outreach efforts and revealed how NAS strives to teach the public about Singapore's heritage and history through fun and interesting means. The speakers also discussed how the NAS overcame challenges related to COVID-19 restrictions to bring their signature children's programme into homes during the height of the pandemic, as well as how conservators quickly shfited back to in-person programmes once safe distancing measures were eased in 2021.

Explore Singapore’s history through paper documents, oral history interviews, and audiovisual recordings from the collections of the National Library and the National Archives of Singapore.

The theme of the ROFFEKE World Day for Audio Visual Heritage 2022 playlist is inspired by the title of one of the ROFFEKE Official Selection 2022 short films, "Crossing Borders". All the short films in the playlist cross borders in one way or another.

The short film "Crossing Borders" was directed by Chris Wilson and stars the talented Aphiwe Nqevu playing the role of Bhongo Mhlope. "Bhongo Mhlope, A South African immigration agent is on the hunt for a Zimbabwean foreign national who has been scheduled for deportation."

"Thou Shalt Dance" was directed by Abtin Yaghmaian, an animation director based in Tehran. The protagonist crosses the border between normal and abnormal: "In a normal day a normal man finds an abnormal solution for his problem."

Read "Crossing Borders: Finding Lulu and Cuando Haces Pop" and "Crossing Borders: Forgotten Song and Maldita: A Love Song to Sarajevo" on the ROFFEKE blog.

The mission of ROFFEKE is to promote rock music in Kenya via film by dispelling myths and misconceptions about rock music. The motto of ROFFEKE is "Friendship, Fun, Freedom". The purpose of ROFFEKE is to "Lighten the burden".

La Fundación Patrimonio Fílmico Colombiano conmemora cien años del estreno de la película ‘María’, dirigida por Máximo Calvo Olmedo y Alfredo del Diestro, basada en la novela del escritor caleño, Jorge Isaacs (1837-1895), es considerada la primera obra audiovisual de largometraje argumental del cine colombiano. Este homenaje se encuentra enmarcado en el Día Mundial del Patrimonio Audiovisual, una iniciativa de la UNESCO y el CCAAA (Consejo Coordinador de Asociaciones de Archivos Audiovisuales).

À partir de la riche production du ciné-club, nous présentons une sélection de nos films préférés qui ont récemment été restaurés. Celui-ci a existé de 1953 à 2009 et tenu sa plus grande projection au cinéma Elite de Köniz devant plus de 300 spectateur·rice·s. Pendant longtemps, il a été hébergé au quartier Matte à Berne, puis chez son membre Alex Weber à Bienne, d'où les films, appareils et documents papier ont ensuite trouvé le chemin du Lichtspiel en 2015.
L’activité principale du club consistait en des projections de films, où l’on pouvait admirer des productions propres aux côtés de films professionnels achetés à la Cinémathèque Pathé-Baby. Alex Weber a pris soin des films et appareils avec amour, ce qui nous permet aujourd'hui de projeter ces œuvres, dont certaines à partir de supports centenaires.

An afternoon screening of THE PARADISE OF THE NAIVES, a film that attempts to reveal the mysterious ways in which art can lead to existential salvation. Incurable diseases, war, physical disabilities and lack of freedom can all be overcome by paying the necessary price. The characters find their own way of salvation through creation and giving the beauty of their art to an uncaring world with the intention of purifying it.

On the occasion of World Day for AV Heritage 2022, the Audiovisual Research Alliance, in collaboration with the FIAT/IFTA Value, Use and Copyright Commission, is pleased to announce an open call for a new research commission. This temporary research position focuses on how cultural heritage institutions with audiovisual and audio collections move from common search interfaces to using and offering exploration as an expanded approach in their collection interfaces for surfacing content. This research also explores how these expanded approaches interact with storytelling and information visualisation.

The position commences on January 16, 2023, with a final text due May 22, 2023. As part of the research process, the selected researcher will develop and run a working session (online) with FIAT/IFTA’s VUC in early February 2023 to test initial thoughts and receive input/feedback from the FIAT/IFTA community. Additionally, the selected candidate will present the research (online or in person) at the FIAT/IFTA 2023 international conference in Locarno, Switzerland, in autumn 2023.

This research position includes a fee of 5.000 EUR (excl. VAT).

Researchers can be located anywhere, as the position is offered remotely, but will require flexibility in online meeting timing as the AVRA is located in the Netherlands and the peer support team will likely exist across different time zones.

To apply, please submit your CV, cover letter, and research writing samples to AVRA coordinator Rachel Somers Miles at: avresearchalliance@beeldengeluid.nl by November 25, 2022, @ 17.00 CET.

The Historical Archives of the European Union (HAEU) holds tens of thousands of audio-visual items in its collections, comprising photographs, maps, posters, audio-recordings, videos, and more.  

On 26 October, anticipating the observance of the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage on 27 October, the HAEU launched the beta version of its multimedia portal, an optimised platform for the consultation and visualisation of audio-visual materials. The new platform allows users to search the audio-visual holdings, view the result in a user-friendly display, access the archival metadata of each item, and visit the associated archival record for complete information on context and provenance.

Dieter Schlenker, Director of the Historical Archives of the European Union, said “We are very happy to launch the new multimedia platform this week. Archivists and historians have long concentrated on written documents, using audio-visual elements more for illustration than as content to study critically on its own merits. But, as with popular culture in general, the research community is now more visual than ever. We are glad to offer our research community an effective tool that maximises their ability to consult and include our audio-visual holdings in their research on European integration.”

The project is the result of months of collaborative work between the audio-visual archivist and the HAEU’s ICT support team.

Juan Alonso, the HAEU’s audio-visual archivist, explained “The new multimedia portal is more intuitive for users, and provides an environment adapted to the particularities of audio and visual files. In addition, each item remains linked to its original archival file or dossier, thus respecting the principle of provenance. The portal permits a richer and more objective interpretation of the item.”  

At present, the multimedia portal makes available only part of the HAEU’s audio-visual collections. The number of items available on the platform will increase as additional items are digitised.

A future upgrade of the platform will also allow for the display of archival exhibits using multimedia materials.

Search the new multimedia portal here.

The Northeast India Audiovisual Archive, presents 'Postcards from the Past', an exhibition of handpicked antique postcards of the Khasi and Jaintia Hills, printed during the twentieth century. The collection of postcards displayed reflect perfectly the theme of this year's World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, 'Your Window to the World'.

Postcards carry a narrative of a time and a world that we wish to understand more deeply: of the cultures that were practised then, the lives of people and communities, and the genius and potential that they possessed then. Like all preserved audiovisual material, they are a storehouse of inestimable amounts of information that prove to be most advantageous to the study of history and culture, literature, and to the entire order of learning and academics, now and in the future.

The postcards displayed today are copies of their original, for reasons of safeguarding and preservation.

The National Archives of Australia has been digitally preserving it's audiovisual collection for over 10 years, but with a large collection of over 700,000 analogue items, this work has recently scaled up in a race against time. The Defend the Past, Protect the Future program aims to digitise 270,000 selected at-risk formats over a four year period and includes all formats. To showcase the rich audiovisual collection recorded by Australian government agencies over the last 80 years we have created three short films, each from a different digitised format, ilustrating the fascinating stories that Archives hold. Film maker Johh Hughes, Early Works, takes us on a deep dive into Antarctic data films, inner city housing development and Australia's past weapons testing and it's effects on local Indigenous communities. These films will be shared via social media channels over the week and avialable in full on our youtube channel.

The World Day for Audiovisual Heritage - 27 October - is a key initiative for both UNESCO and the Coordinating Council of Audiovisual Archives Associations (CCAAA) to honor audiovisual preservation professionals and institutions that safeguard our heritage for future generations. Around the world audiovisual archives join together annually on this day to celebrate their work with events that not only highlight the vulnerability of these valuable materials, but also to celebrate the often unheralded work of the institutions that provide protection and preservation, ensuring their availability in the future.

Our celebration consists of a digital postcard featuring the artwork of Nathan Rapport. Nathan is a New York-based multimedia artist and gallery owner. Guided by formative years in Detroit and San Francisco, his art celebrates the connection between the queer present and ancestral history. Through his work as a painter, illustrator, muralist, designer, and art director, he manifests his visions of queer utopia. www.dreambrothergallery.com

The postcard was designed by Libby Cole, director of The Work Department, a people-centered design and strategy studio in Detroit. www.dept.work

Detroit Sound Conservancy (DSC) is the only archive devoted to the preservation and celebration of Detroit music. Through archival practices, education programs, performances and rehabilitation initiatives, DSC expands access to and evidence of the history that proves Detroit is the most influential musical city in the world. Detroiters innovated techno, funk, rock and jazz, and have shaped nearly every musical genre, from punk and rap to soul and blues. Across generations, deep commitment and fearlessness mark the essence of the Detroit sound. DSC spreads its resources to support archival practices that amplify this cultural spectrum and safeguard its history—of people, movements, legends and lore. Through this work, DSC preserves the vivid memory of musical movements, uplifts the agency of artistic legacies, counteracts reductive representation and puts listening at the center of community. http://detroitsound.org

There is much discussion in the archives field about disasters that affect our collections, our work, and the loss of our histories. Within our professional organizations we work to prepare for these disasters and plan accordingly. In the past eight months the Oleksandr Dovzhenko Center in Ukraine has been faced with two monumental disasters that no one could have foreseen and are difficult for many of us to imagine. Mr. Oleksandr Teliuk, Head of the Archive at the Oleksandr Dovzhenko National Centre and AMIA President Rachael Stoeltje discuss the situation at the Centre and what we all can do to help.

En el marco del Día mundial del patrimonio audiovisual (27 de octubre), se exhibirán dos programas de cortometrajes del Centro de Producción de Cortometraje (CPC) que el Imcine restauró y digitalizó en los Estudios Churubusco.

Reconstruimos la historia y resguardamos nuestro patrimonio audiovisual a través de estas restauraciones en colaboración con Estudios Churubusco.

Cineteca Nacional de Chile and Istituto Italiano di Cultura presents a special screening of the masterpiece directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini, a version restored by the Cinenteca di Bologna.

On this occasion, Cinemateca Poruguesa organized a screening of MUDAR DE VIDA by Paulo Rocha, one of the most important titles in the history of Portuguese Cinema namely concerning the so-called Portuguese New Cinema, a movement that began in the 1960's, being Paulo Rocha one of its most relevant representatives.

The session took place on October 23rd, within the scope of ACE project A Season of Classic Films, in the region where this film was shot: a fishing area in centre/northern Portugal. We screened a digital copy, from a restoration held by Cinemateca, in a process that was initially supervised by the director itself and, following his death, carried on under the supervision of director Pedro Costa.

Cinemateca Portuguesa celebrates once again the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, always celebrated by members of FIAF on October 27th. In 2022, we commemorate this date remembering the centenary of the 9.5mm format through a film compilation with excerpts from hundreds of amateur films shot in this format over several decades (and for which the Cinemateca provided some material).

In celebrate to the 2022 World Day of Audiovisual Heritage, the Digital Archive Center for Music, National Taiwan Normal University, and the He Luting Advanced Research Institute of Chinese Music and the Asia-Europe Music Research Centre of Shanghai Conservatory of Music jointly co-organized the 2022 Sinophone Musics Film Festival. Through film screening, dialogues with the directors and co-authors, and a series of discussions, we aim to invite music and film lovers and professionals to pay attention to the diverse sound cultures across Sinophone societies, the conditions in which they are situated, and the challenges they are facing. We hope you enjoy the events.

The 9-day event (10/27-11/4) will include the screening of 18 music documentaries, interactions between directors and audiences, an academic lecture, and facilitator workshops. We look forward to presenting the ethnographic records of music observed and reflected through the lens of ethnomusicologists from Sinophone through a variety of methods, and to contribute to the continuous expansion of this field.

El Centro Nacional del Patrimonio Fotográfico de la Universidad Diego Portales lleva 20 años dedicado a la investigación, digitalización, preservación y difusión de la fotografía en Chile. Nuestra institución posee fondos de renombrados autores, como Enrique Mora, Alfredo Molina LaHitte, Lola Falcon, Obder Heffer, Manuel Domínguez -pionero del cine también-; y, también de instituciones como el diario La Época, Holanda Comunicaciones, el diario La Nación -que tuvo un noticiario cinematográfico entre 1927 y 1932- y del Foto-Cine Club del Chile. Es decir, la relación entre fotografía e imagen en movimiento ha sido para nosotros recurrente y adquiere particular sentido en este nuevo día del patrimonio audiovisual.

En una reciente revisión de nuestro archivo histórico, hemos encontrado materiales audiovisuales vinculados a actividades realizadas por Cenfoto-UDP a lo largo del tiempo: seminarios, jornadas de capacitación, registros de eventos, charlas, documentales. Últimamente también hemos ido adquiriendo material fílmico en 8mm y 16mm. Este modesto acervo emergente nos permite reflexionar hoy con mayor fuerza sobre la importancia de este tipo de materiales, su intrínseca vinculación con la fotografía y el dialogo permanente que se puede establecer con los procesos sociales y tecnológicos.

Todos nuestros proyectos lo disponibilizamos desde la plataforma https://culturadigital.udp.cl

La conmemoración se llevará a cabo de forma virtual este 27 octubre desde las 12 horas. Subiremos a nuestro canal de Youtube una recopilación del material fílmico custodiado, que consta principalmente de obras huérfanas inéditas datadas entre 1935 y 1960 aprox., y que fueron realizadas presumiblemente por cineastas aficionados chilenos.

The National Center for Photographic Heritage of the Diego Portales University (Cenfoto-UDP) has been dedicated to research, digitization, preservation and diffusion of photography in Chile for 20 years. Our institution has funds from renowned authors, such as Enrique Mora, Alfredo Molina LaHitte, Lola Falcón, Obder Heffer, Manuel Domínguez -also a pioneer of cinema-; and, also from institutions such as the newspaper La Época, Holanda Comunicaciones, the newspaper La Nación -which had a cinematographic newsreel between 1927 and 1932- and the Foto-Cine Club de Chile. In other words, the relationship between photography and moving image has been recurrent for us and acquires particular meaning in this new day of audiovisual heritage.

In a recent review of our historical archive, we have found audiovisual materials linked to activities carried out by Cenfoto-UDP over time: seminars, training sessions, event records, talks, documentaries. Lately we have also been acquiring 8mm and 16mm film material. This modest emerging heritage allows us to reflect today with greater force on the importance of this type of material, its intrinsic link with photography and the permanent dialogue that can be established with social and technological processes.

We make all our projects available from the platform https://culturadigital.udp.cl

The commemoration will take place virtually this October 27 at 12 noon. Where we will upload to our YouTube channel a compilation of the film material in custody, which consists mainly of unpublished orphan works dated between 1935 and 1976 approx., and that they were presumably made by chilean amateur filmmakers.

Filmoteca Valenciana celebra el Día Mundial del Patrimonio Audiovisual con la proyección gratuita, el jueves 27 a las 20:00, de la restauración digital de "Cada ver es..." (Ángel García del Val, 1981). Obra insólita en la producción audiovisual española, "Cada ver es..." tuvo una producción accidentada y una distribución plagada de obstáculos. En clave cercana al documental de creación, sigue los pasos en su día a día a Juan Espada del Coso, ayudante en el Instituto Anatómico Forense de Valencia. Las imágenes de "Cada ver es...", en su crudeza, rezuman poesía y cariño del director hacia su protagonista, y es, en sus propias palabras "un discurso sobre "lo muerto" que lleva a cuestionarse ese único asunto serio que es la vida".

La restauración digital ha sido posible gracias al apoyo del Programa MEDIA- Europa Creativa y de la Asociación de Cinematecas Europeas a través del proyecto "A Season of Classic Films".

Filmoteca Valenciana celebrates World Day for Audiovisual Heritage with the free screening, on Thursday 27th at 20:00, of the digital restoration of "Cada ver es..." (Ángel García del Val, 1981). An unusual work in Spanish audiovisual production, "Cada ver es..." had an eventful production and a distribution plagued with obstacles. Close to a creative documentary, it follows the day-to-day life of Juan Espada del Coso, an assistant at the Forensic Anatomical Institute of Valencia. The images of "Cada ver es...", in their rawness, ooze poetry and affection of the director towards his protagonist, and is, in his own words "a discourse on "the dead" that questions the only serious matter that is life".
The digital restoration has been made possible thanks to the support of the MEDIA-Creative Europe Program and the Association of European Cinematheques through the project "A Season of Classic Films".

`2022 World Day for Audio Visual Heritage’ celebration at Bangladesh Film Archive, Dhaka

The Bangladesh Film Archive (BFA) has celebrated World Day for Audiovisual Heritage 2022 on 24-27 October '22 in Dhaka with a number of activities including Seminar, film and poster screening. This year the main theme of the celebration entitled as `Donate your one copy valuable Film to us’ (মূল্যবান ফিল্মের ০১ কপি আমাদের দান করুন).
The programme has started with a seminar titled `Incremental change in technology: Challenges in Bangladesh Film Archive’ organized in seminar Hall on 24 October 2022.
On 27 October 2022 a film has screened in Projection Hall, the first Bengali feature film Mukh o Mukhosh (The Face and the Mask) which released in 1956 is based on the rural life style of this region . The film was directed by Abdul Jabbar Khan.
Later a poster screening also arranged in the BFA’s premises. The program inaugurated by Mr. Md. Nizamul Kabir, Director General, Bangladesh Film Archive. Prominent Film maker Ms. Nargis Akhtar and Ms. Shameem Akhtar was present that time.

Audio-visual archives bring us tales from all across the world about people's lives and cultures. They are a treasured asset that affirms our collective memory and serves as a vital source of information since they reflect the cultural, socioeconomic, and linguistic variety of our communities. They aid in our development and understanding of the world in which we all live. Conserving this history and making it available to the public and future generations is a critical aim for all memory institutions and the general public. 

World Audio-Visual Heritage Day provides an opportunity for media organisations to raise awareness of the need for immediate action and to recognise the importance of audiovisual documents.

This regional webinar will carry the theme "Enlisting documentary heritage to promote inclusive, just and peaceful societies’, to help facilitate content producers to not only utilise the archives to enhance their stories but also find ways to preserve their work for next generations.

This webinar will explore how broadcasters and independent content creators can utilise this year's theme, "Enlisting documentary heritage to promote inclusive, just and peaceful societies" in their work. Case studies of content creation from around the globe will be presented, and participants will discuss the challenges and opportunities content creators face in this fast-paced information-driven world.

In commemoration of World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, Korean Film Archive unveils the convergence performance art of <The Pregnant Tree and the Goblin> (dirs. Kim Dong-ryeong, Park Gyeong-tae, 2019) for the first time. This independent film deals with the history of a U.S. camp town and the life of a comfort woman. As such, the film records the contemporary history of Korea and the personal history in it with an experimental structure and surreal cinematic aesthetic while employing features of documentary and fictional films. This performance, designed and produced by Korean Film Archive, provides a new cinematic experience for the audience by incorporating live musical performances and commentary narration along with the film screening.

The documentary <Film, the Living Record of Our Memory> (dir. Inés Toharia Terán, 2021) is also screened. It addresses the significance of film preservation and the importance of archiving. In relation to this film, young Korean film archivists are invited to share their experiences and opinions on film archiving.

In addition, the Korean films, <A Woman Judge> (dir. Hong Eun-won, 1962), discovered in 2015, and <Hommage> (dir. Sin Su-won, 2021), which depicts the story of the director who restores this film are screened. Through the screenings of these films, the dream and reality of female filmmakers living in the 1960s and 2020s, respectively, are connected. <Three Minutes - A Lengthening> (dir. Bianca Stigter, 2021) is a documentary and film essay that carefully analyzes the only home movie left by Jews living in the pre-Holocaust Polish town of Nasielsk, and discovers the amazingly precious time hidden therein.

In the framework of the International Day of Audiovisual Heritage 2022, we present “Luis Pardo” (1927), directed by Enrique Cornejo Villanueva and considered the oldest Peruvian feature film to date, which has been restored by the Film Library of the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru, with the support of the Direction of Audiovisual, Phonography and New Media of the Ministry of Culture of Peru.

The silent film comprises an edition made from the only surviving material, equivalent to 33 minutes. The existence of a complete copy of the feature film is unknown, so the edition presents a narrative order that follows the guidelines of argumentative reviews published by the press of the time.

On the other hand, the work includes a specially composed soundtrack that emulates the live accompaniment that had in its premiere, in addition to a new version of the original lyrics of the waltz “La Antarita” that counts the corremeries of the bandit Luis Pardo. It also contains the restored short film “The famous bandit", directed by Alberto “Chicho” Durant, which is part of this restoration, as it includes an essential interview with mister Enrique Cornejo Villanueva, director, producer, screenwriter and actor, of this pioneering work of national cinema.

29th of July 2021, a fire breaks out at 6 p.m. local time in São Paulo. A warehouse of the Cinemateca Brasileira, the largest film collection in Latin America, is in flames - an "announced tragedy" (Laura Bezerra, Brazilian archival scholar).

The July 2021 fire was not the only one of its kind. Four major fires had already ravaged Brazil's most important film archive since its founding in 1940. But under Jair Bolsonaro's presidency, the Cinemateca goes through its biggest crisis. Shortly after coming to power, the president declared war on culture: left-wing, queers, indigenous people, women's rights, alternative lifestyles and minoritized groups do not fit into the conservative worldview. Because of the suspended funding, the archive had to close for almost two years in 2019, and necessary repairs to the building and its holdings could not be carried out. The fire unfortunately did not surprise numerous experts worldwide.    

On the UNESCO World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, having as background the upcoming presidential election in Brazil on October 30th, we pay tribute to Brazilian film heritage with a diverse program and question the current state of the struggle for its preservation.

UNESCO celebrates the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the MoW Programme from 27 October to 5 November 2022.

The 30th anniversary of the Memory of the World Programme, will be celebrated in tandem with the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage. As such, UNESCO embraces the theme: "Your Window to the World: Enlisting documentary heritage to promote inclusive, just and peaceful societies".

It takes its cue from the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, particularly SDG 16. SDG 16 seeks to “promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels.” Target 16.10 aims to “ensure public access to information and protect fundamental freedoms, in accordance with national legislation and international agreements.” 

In this respect, key issues that may define the celebration of the 30th anniversary would include:

* Identifying documentary heritage, including that inscribed on national, regional and international registers of the MoW Programme, which promotes greater understanding and dialogue across cultures.
* Celebrating documentary heritage of marginalized groups, such as indigenous people. Member States that are a home to such groups could consider highlighting this aspect of their societies in order to promote inclusivity, thereby enhancing the possibility of just and peaceful co-existence.
* Highlighting the gender inequalities in access to, and usage of, documentary heritage across archives, libraries, museums, etc.
* Celebrating national world-significant documents that have had a phenomenal impact on a community, a culture, a country or humanity generally. Many examples abound, but the determination of these is left to Member States.
* Exploiting the educational value of documentary heritage to enrich existing curricula with under-utilized primary sources.
* Exploring how media and journalists can exploit the historical value of documentary heritage for contemporary reporting on issues of sustainable development.
* Celebrating national, regional and international documents that may be deemed as having contributed the most towards bringing about inclusive, just and peaceful societies in a particular national, regional or international context.
* Highlighting best practices on safeguarding documentary heritage at risk. 

There are many more aspects of this theme that can be exploited for maximum effect.

For the global celebration, an online-onsite symposium will be held at the UNESCO Headquarters, 10:00-12:30 in Paris, France, on 27 October 2022.

A CONVERSATION WITH OLEKSANDR TELIUK FROM THE OLEKSANDR DOVZHENKO NATIONAL CENTRE, UKRAINE

There is a lot of discussion in the archives field about disasters that affect our collections, our work, and the loss of our histories—and within our professional organizations we work to prepare for these disasters and plan accordingly. In the past eight months the Oleksandr Dovzhenko Center in Ukraine has been faced with two monumental disasters that no one could have foreseen and are difficult for many of us to imagine. Mr.  Oleksandr Teliuk, Head of the Archive at the Oleksandr Dovzhenko National Centre and AMIA President Rachael Stoeltje discuss the situation at the Centre and what we all can do to help.

Since 2009, Hong Kong Film Archive has been in support of World Day for Audiovisual Heritage. This year, the Hong Kong Film Archive will present two treasured films from our collection, Breaking the Willow (2003) and Peony Pavilion (2001).

Kunqu is an early form of Chinese opera, often regarded as the source of all operatic genres. In 2001, it was included in UNESCO's list of 'Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity'. Director Yonfan fell in love with kunqu after watching a performance of The Palace of Eternal Life by the Zhejiang Kunqu Opera Troupe. Without elaborate set decorations, kunqu artists staged a remarkable rendition of the classic ‘The Song of Everlasting Sorrow'. The audience was profoundly moved and Yonfan, carrying with him memories of that profound experience, made Peony Pavilion in 2001, following that two years later with Breaking the Willow.

Yonfan digitally restored these two films in 2022. He also authorised the Archive to present the premiere of the restored version of Breaking the Willow at the Archive on 27 October on the ‘World Day for Audiovisual Heritage' as well as premiering the 4K restored version of Peony Pavilion at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre on 5 November. Both films, marked by a notable integration of cinema and opera, are must-see items for devotees and fans of film and opera.

The Korean Association of Audiovisual Preservation(KAAP) and the Korean Film Archive(KOFA) are going to organize a screening of the documentary <Film, the Living Record of Our Memory>(2021) and a special talk session on film archiving in Korea.

In the documentary <Film, the Living Record of Our Memory> (2021), directed by Inés Toharia, film archivists, curators, technicians and producers from around the world gather to discuss the definition of film preservation and the need for archiving. For more information of the documentary, please refer to the film presentation: https://filmthelivingrecordofourmemory.com/index.php

After the screening, a special talk on film archiving in South Korea will be followed. This joint event is organized by the KAAP, the KOFA, the Institute of Information and Archival Science in Hankuk University of Foreign Languages, and the Korean Society of Archival Information and Cultural Studies. Two young Korean film archivists will be speaking about their own experiences, various main film scanning and restoration projects performed in South Korea, current issues on film archiving infrastructure in South Korea, as well as performing expert trainings and workshops. We expect main issues and its future directions on film archiving in South Korea to be debated, which were issues mentioned in other related sectors as well to this day.

• Moderator: Ham Chung-boem (Professor, Korea University of Media Arts)
• Panels: Yeon Tae Sung (Preservation Team/Film Archivist, Korea Film Archive); Ju-Won Park (General Manager of film digitization in the Film Restoration Digitization)

The Media Preservation Unit of the Michigan State University Libraries (MSUL) has prepared a physical exhibit on independent and amateur media, "Home Recordings: Windows Into the Everyday" in the 2W display case at MSUL.

The central programme for The 2022 World Day for Audiovisual Heritage of Národní filmový archiv, Prague  will take place on Thursday 3 November at the Ponrepo cinema. In cooperation with the Czech Institute of Egyptology, it will show the film programme Expedition to Nubia, which will be free of charge. In the 1960s and 1970s, under the auspices of UNESCO, there was a large-scale international action to save the monuments of ancient Nubia, threatened by the construction of the High Dam at Aswan. In addition to scientific teams from all over the world, the then newly founded Czechoslovak Institute of Egyptology of Charles University in Prague joined the action, which sent a total of five scientific expeditions to the area of southern Egypt between 1961 and 1965 under the leadership of the director of the Institute, Zbyněk Žába. Perhaps it was with the awareness of the uniqueness of the whole situation and the possibilities it offered that Czechoslovak researchers set off for Nubia equipped with a film camera. In five years they made more than two dozen short films showing the working procedures and successes, as well as the life of the expedition in the sometimes inhospitable and gradually displacing Nubian landscape. The film depicts the five-man expedition, accompanied by an Egyptian inspector and experienced workers, at the beginning of the 1963 research season aimed at documenting the inscriptions and images left by local inhabitants and foreign conquerors over the millennia. It will be presented in the Ponrepo cinema as a digital transcription of an unedited 16mm print. The screening will be followed by a discussion with Egyptologist Miroslav Verner, a participant in the 1964 Nubian expedition, and Lenka Varadzinová, who has been processing and managing the so-called "Nubian archive" of the Czech Institute of Egyptology at the Faculty of Arts of Charles University for a long time.

On The 2022 World Day for Audiovisual Heritage on 27 October The International Documentary Film Festival Ji.hlava is taking place in the Czech Republic. Therefore, Národní filmový archiv, Prague will celebrate this day partly within the framework of this festival. It will present several screenings of the Video Archive project. In the Fascination section, there will be two screenings - on 27 October at 10 p.m., the works of Michael Bielický, presented by Martin Blažíček, and on 29 October at 12 p.m., the Bielický Studio works, presented by Sylva Poláková. It will include a discussion with artists Petra Varga and Tamara Moyzes. 

The screening was created on the basis of the research project Audiovisual works outside the context of cinema: documentation, archiving and accessibility, led by the National Film Archive.

Also the Bielický Studio works screening was created on the basis of the research project Audiovisual work outside the context of cinema: documentation, archiving and accessibility, led by the National Film Archive. 

Today, the moving image permeates much of the work of students at art colleges. In the early 1990s, however, it took the establishment of separate degree programmes in video art and new media to even get established. One of the first was the New Media Studio at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague in 1991, which was headed by Michael Bielický until 2011. The series, featuring contemporary works by his students, includes works by Radim Labuda, Tamara Moyzes, Eva Jiřička, Tomáš Mašín and others.

La Biblioteca Nacional de España es el principal centro informativo y documental sobre la cultura escrita, gráfica y audiovisual española. Sus colecciones incluyen todo tipo de materiales y ponen de manifiesto la diversidad y riqueza de este patrimonio cultural. Una diversidad y riqueza que abarca desde los primitivos cilindros de cera y discos de pizarra, hasta los nuevos soportes audiovisuales, multimedia y ahora también videojuegos desde la reciente publicación de la Ley de Depósito Legal en 2022.

Desde el año 2011 la Biblioteca Nacional de España y concretamente el Departamento de Música y Audiovisuales, organiza una jornada profesional para conmemorar el día declarado por la UNESCO como Día Mundial del Patrimonio Audiovisual. Cada año, las jornadas tratan de poner en valor el patrimonio sonoro y audiovisual, abarcando distintos temas. Este año se cumple su duodécima edición y pretende destacar la importancia de las Tradiciones y cultura popular registrada en los documentos sonoros y audiovisuales. El patrimonio sonoro y audiovisual que preserva en la Biblioteca Nacional alberga desde las memorias personales hasta las memorias colectivas de las culturas y los pueblos. Nos permite escuchar y ver las voces, bailes y tradiciones de nuestro pasado y conservarlas para el futuro.

Durante esta Jornada vamos a tratar de acercarnos a la cultura popular y a las tradiciones a través de la producción sonora y audiovisual que se conserva en los documentos sonoros y audiovisuales para ser preservada y difundida a las generaciones futuras.

Desde las bibliotecas debemos favorecer su conocimiento, conservación y difusión para responder a las necesidades de información de los investigadores, en un mundo que reclama profundos cambios que afectan a la preservación de unos documentos sonoros y audiovisuales, qué dada su naturaleza, corren el riesgo de desaparecer. Este patrimonio tiene un valor fundamental ya que conserva las grabaciones de nuestro entorno, donde la naturaleza, la cultura y las tradiciones adquieren un papel destacado y necesario para que las generaciones futuras conozcan la identidad y singularidad de su país.

La Jornada se llevará a cabo de forma virtual, dejando atrás muchos de los esquemas de realización de las jornadas en el pasado y permitiendo la consolidación y expansión de la nueva forma de relacionarnos sin la limitación del lugar físico en el que nos encontremos.

A menudo los profesionales trabajamos en los mismos umbrales, sin dejar pasar la luz, no absolutamente en la oscuridad, pero sí a veces en la penumbra. Los territorios son entidades vivas, y como tales, se mueven y cambian su fisonomía constantemente. Este es el objetivo de la 1ª Jornada Territorio Archivo, invitaros a abrir la mirada a este universo en constante metamorfosis.

Queremos mostrar, justamente, cómo se mueven estos límites en los Archivos, cómo cambia todo a nuestro alrededor, la forma de percibir, las inquietudes y las miradas; nada es eterno ni para siempre, a veces es efímero, otras cambiantes, por eso hay que adaptarse al cambio, admitir lo diferente, las nuevas propuestas, aunque salgan de los patrones preestablecidos, aunque vayan más allá, ya que esto es el Territorio Archivo. ¿Y cuál es el territorio archivo? Es lo que queremos descubrir en esta primera jornada que reunirá ponencias y experiencias, sobre todo de nuevos colectivos; nuevas visiones para mostrar la diversidad natural y asombrosa de los Archivos.

Con la voluntad de repetir la experiencia cada dos años, la Jornada Territorio Archivo nace con el objetivo de convertirse en un referente en el territorio, y también en los archivos, como un lugar y un momento donde debatir y presentar las nuevas formas de ver los archivos.

The projection of the film El jefe político (The political boss)(1926) will be accompanied by live music performed by the composer and musician Miquel Brunet in order to commemorate the 27th of October, World Day for Audiovisual Heritage.

The recovery of this film by André Hugon, one of the pioneers of French cinematography, has come as a result of the joined efforts of the Arxiu del So i de la Imatge de Mallorca (Mallorca’s Archive for Sound and Image) and the Filmoteca Española  (Spanish Film Library). The until-now-unreleased movie was acquired in 1999 by Mallorca’s Counsel, it has been carefully restored and, so far, is the only preserved copy of the film. The Political boss is an example of political cinema prior by many years to those directed by Francesco Rosi and Costa Gavras, who made this kind of films come into fashion back in the 50s and 60s.

Leopoldo Quintana is a really ambitious lawyer form Majorca. Sebastián Gocho, a powerful businessman, will help him with his political career so that both of them can establish a win-win relationship. Quintana wins his seat in Parliament through the manipulation of the elections and also through the use of criminal means. Once in Madrid, both men thrive by influence peddling and blackmail. Quintana claims that he is defending the working movement and he is able to take over the government, subsequently being appointed president, while Gocho becomes one of his ministers. In the meantime, Quintana has started a love affair with Gloria Montenegro, a model usually hanging about with the high-heeled in society. Meanwhile Juliana, Quintana’s wife, is very sick back in Majorca. Because of the government’s refusal to reduce the number of working hours and to put an end to Grocho’s monopoly on flour and electric energy in the island, riots begin to break out in Majorca. The rioters follow a mysterious leader, the Iron Man, who seems to know a lot of things about Quintana. The so-called Iron Man is Ernesto Avial, a young journalist who had gone to prison for defending Quintana.

The 35 mm cellulose nitrate, slightly faded at times, with toning cyanotype and intertitles in Spanish had to be thoroughly restored. The materials have been digitalized in 4k. Their origin was an incomplete copy with significant alterations in the editing.  Even though there are differences between the book and the film, the reconstruction of the latter has been done following the former due to the lack of any other references. In spite of the addition of these extra titles the film includes important gaps in its narrative continuity. Image has been stabilized; it has also been colour-corrected and speed-adjusted to 17 frames per second; apart from that, everything else having to do with the physical characteristics present in the photo-chemical materials has been kept untouched.

Journalist Pitu Anaya will present his documentary project about this legendary cinema and tell us a brief summary of its history. After that, the entire collection of Albéniz cinema preserved at the cinema Museum will be presented. Besides, a sample of the set of nine films from the late 1920s to the early 1930s will be shown. These films come from the extinct distributor company CINAES and the Albéniz cinema donated them to the Girona City Council in December 1996. Currently, they are kept in the deposits of the Filmoteca de Catalunya.

On the occasion of this year's World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, the National Film Archive of Japan will screen a collection of fragments of film scenes cut by the Home Ministry in pre-war Japan for the first time. The Yukinobu Toba collection donated these films in 1988. The screenings and lectures expose the film censorship system of the time.

The films are available on NFAJ YouTube Channel.

With a career spanning more than 50 years and over 250 films, Kinuyo Tanaka (1909–1973), is among Japan’s most eminent figures of cinema. Most known for her onscreen work with auteurs such as Yasujirō Ozu, Kenji Mizoguchi and Keisuke Kinoshita, her own dynamic directorial output has been unduly overlooked, until recently. 

Born and raised in Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi Prefecture, before moving to Osaka, where Tanaka began her artistic life as a child biwa player and later made her screen debut at 14, during the silent era of film. Rising through the ranks of the Shochiku studios, she earned consecutive top-billings and became one of the nation’s most popular lead actresses by the mid-1930s. Although disrupted by the war, her fame continued to rise in the 40s and 50s, winning plaudits at home and abroad with films such as Mizoguchi’s Life of Oharu (1952). 

In 1953, despite the prejudices and hurdles of a male-dominated industry, Tanaka ventured behind the camera with her directorial debut, Love Letter, which was a critical and commercial success. She directed six films over 9 years, making her the first—and for many years, the only woman filmmaker in post-war Japan. Each of her films, although unique in approach and style, is connected to one another by a singular determination to centre the experiences of women, across class and history. From sex workers to poets, lovers and mothers, Tanaka emphasised the dauntless spirit of the individual and the collective power of female kinship. 

Following successful runs at Cannes Film Festival 2021, Tokyo International Film Festival 2021, Film at Lincoln Center and the British Film Institute, the Asian Film Archive, presents—for the first time in Southeast Asia—the complete directorial works of Kinuyo Tanaka, all in new 4K digital restorations. Accompanying these films will be a curated selection that represents the diversity of her acting career. A highlight event will be a rare screening of Yasujirō Ozu’s silent film classic Dragnet Girl (1933), which will be screened with a specially-commissioned live score. 

Retrospective: Kinuyo Tanaka will run from 7 October to 5 November 2022 at Oldham Theatre. The programme is held in conjunction with Japanese Film Festival Singapore, and has been made possible with the generous support of the Japan Foundation. 

Why preserve film in a world where audiovisual materials seem so readily available online?

That is the key question posed in Film, the Living Record of Our Memory, directed by Inés Toharia Terán, and presented by TIFF in celebration of UNESCO World Audiovisual Heritage Day.

Interviews with film archivists, curators, technicians, and filmmakers explore what film preservation is and why it is still so important to preserve celluloid film, even in an increasingly digital world. Thanks to the tireless work of these film professionals, many of whom work unrecognized behind the scenes, we are still able to watch films that are more than 125 years old. This film pays tribute to their conviction that film holds our collective memory, and that access to film as it was meant to be seen may one day change a life.

Film, The Living Record of Our Memory highlights the unique challenges of maintaining film, the cultural and political barriers to preservation, and the surprising risks of digital preservation. This work is critical because, as the film explains, so much of this heritage has already been lost forever.

Cine Club Split is a non-profit organization active since 1952, with the aim of developing audiovisual culture and arts and providing space, technical and production resources for educational purposes and production, screenings and presentation of cultural and artistic content.

Activities of the Cine Club cover three main areas: Education, Production and Archive.

Educational activities are conducted within the frame of the film school programme, film theory lectures, workshops, film screenings programme, seminars, masterclass and lab. Programming activities are designed to follow the current developments and interdisciplinary educational methods in the media, audiovisual and film arts, founded on professional experience and creativity of lecturers and programme coordinators.

Quality level of all activities is advanced by continuous monitoring of results, quality assessment of completed projects and applying best practice and methods, with constant introduction of new concepts. The Club represents an open and flexible system, able to quickly respond to the requirements and needs of the members and the community and to put into effect previously unforeseen or unplanned programmes and ideas, leading to advancements in overall work and development of knowledge, skills, critical thinking and creativity of all participants.

Free use of equipment and space is guaranteed, as well as autonomy and freedom of expression for all members. During the past six decades of active work, over 600 short films were produced by Cine Club Split, out of which 290 films were shot on film stock. Over one hundred of our authors made their own films, some successful and some less so. Numerous awards won at amateur and alternative film competitions and festivals, on national and international level, contribute to the position of Cine Club Split as one of the most productive and successful clubs in Croatia. Up until today, five generations of authors have emerged from the Club.

We are currently witnessing full transformation – from the system that existed in the past, with groups of authors with distinctive expression, we are now becoming a multifunctional system with a considerable number of members who do not necessarily work together or follow the same convictions, and may have very different aesthetics. The cohesive element is still a sense of solidarity and the shared perspective: cost-free equipment, access to education and artistic freedom. Cooperation, coproduction and partnership projects have grown in number and are now common practice between the members, who have the freedom to work in film as amateurs, professionals or hobbyists, and to design and propose their own programmes. Recent generations of auteurs continue to express themselves independently and clearly through the cinematic language, and their work is successfully presented at national and international festivals and selected film streaming platforms. In the future, the Club will strive to become a regional audiovisual centre.

"The Sound of Méliès": A silent film concert at Oslo's Technical Museum where three films by pioneer Georges Méliès will be screened with live music by Kjetil Schjander Luhr, Kristin Bolstad and Anders Hofstad Sørås.

Two free screenings to celebrate the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage 2022.

17.00h | LA MONTAGNE INFIDÈLE (Jean Epstein, 1923)

On June 1923, Jean Epstein and cameraman Paul Guichard went to Italy to film the violent volcanic eruption of Mount Etna.

La Montagne Infidèle was a missing film in Jean Epstein’s filmography.

In 2021, a complete copy of the film in domestic and educational market version in 28mm Pathé Kok was identified in 2CR (Centre de Conservació i Restauració de la Filmoteca de Catalunya). La Montagne infidèle was part of the collection of 40 films in Pathé Kok that had been deposited by the heirs of Pere Tresserras.

The digitization and restoration of this material allows La Montagne infidèle to be incorporated in Epstein's filmography.

Screening with musical accompaniment by Juan de Diego Grebalariak.

 20.00h | ÉRASE UNA VEZ... (Josep Escobar, Alexandre Cirici-Pellicer, 1950)

Version of Cinderella, the popular tale by Charles Perrault.
