The exhibition opened on the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage is the official debut of the Transylvanian Audiovisual Archive, which aims at the research, preservation and popularization of the Transylvanian audiovisual documents. Through the collection and digitazation of amateur films, photographs and sound recordings we would like to raise public interest for audiovisual documents and an awareness that these documents need to be handled and preseved with care, and kept together with the story of their person who made them.

The exhibition entitled Visible Cluj-Napoca presents the ouvre of a local amateur photographer, who very probably was the first amateur filmmaker in Transylvania, as he made his first film in 1928 with a Cine Kodak camera. The exhibition presents his images in three sections: the City Centre puts in focus images of flanerie, of dwelling in the city and admiring it through the lens of a photo camera. This section also shows the influences of the visual culture of postcards, pictorialist photography and of the architectural avantgarde. The second section presents the Central Park as a realm between the public and the private space, inhabited by different amateur photographers' associations, which produced images characterised by stillness and poetic harmonies, that contrast the dynamic compositions of the Centre-life. The third section concentrates on the space of the family home, on the interiors pictured by the photographer but also on the family portraits made with high artistic ambitions.

The exhibition presents images as pictures on the wall, as moving pictures on the screen or projected on the wall, as viewed with a stereoviewer or as objects decorating a family room.

On the occasion of the 2016 World Day of Audiovisual Heritage Kinoteka na Makedonija will present a special program of selected short films from 1956 – 1968, that had been written by acknowledged writers at that time. During the formatting years of organized production in Macedonia, due to the shortage of professional cinema writers, well established authors in literature (Slavko Janevski, Petre M. Andreeevski, Dimitar Solev, Vlada Uroshevic, Zhivko Chingo, etc.) were invited to try focusing on cinema, by writing for short feature and documentary films mostly. These short “escapades” resulted in unusually poetic and imaginative descriptions of rural, folk and social themes. Almost half a century later, they give powerful insights in the region’s introduction to industrialization and modern society. In the context of “It’s your story - Don’t lose it” theme, the screenings are intended for an audience interested in discovering and gaining new perspectives on the national cinematography.

One of the main missions of the Biblioteca de Catalunya consists of giving access to the Catalan bibliographic heritage. This is done by many means: from searching into the library catalogue to exhibitions planning, from use of social networks (Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Flickr and an own channel of Youtube) to taking part in conferencies, symposiums or professional working groups. The Library also gives access to information management tools as Delicious or Mendeley, so users can obtain and organise information properly on their own way. All in all, the Library works “inwards to outwards”. So far, this is the story of the Biblioteca de Catalunya, and it won’t be lost!
Nevertheless, perhaps it’s time to wonder about the effect that the Library work has in user’s research. Is it a way to interact with them so that we move forward together for both sides benefits?
The Unitat de Sonors i Audiovisuals of the Biblioteca de Catalunya has a relatively recent experience in contacting professionals of library-related fields and sound & AV researchers. These contacts have brought big benefits to the library, considering that the feedback received from both kind of “users” has increased our wisdom and our collections value alike. And so good, this is a selection of the contribution of some of the Biblioteca de Catalunya researchers to our story. And they won’t be lost either.

We have a specialists and press film screening of Nila Guiss Filmmaker Opera Prima that calls "Dispositio. Place where memory fragments are deposited and forgotten"
 
A special event and press conference about this feature movie that makes with thousands of archive frames.
 
Dispositio movie pretends to participate in many differents festivals around the world.
 

Synopsis:

"Dispositio. Place where memory fragments are deposited and forgotten"
Poetic documentary that talks about the birth and decay of the physical body of the films. This documentary rescues the beauty of celulloid films, in the form of digitalized fragments of many formats made with nitrate, acetate and polyester. It’s a song about memory, memories, forgetfulness and human evocation. 
Our mirrors: the moving images that erode to the extent of becoming dust. The film preservationists fight to prevent it.

Slovak Film Institute is celebrating the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage by screening on 27th October in Kino Lumière, the Cinema of the Slovak Film Institute, the new restored version (on DCP copy) of Michelangelo Antonioni’s masterpiece Blow-up.

In commemoration of the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage 2016, we share first teaser of the restoration process of the film (nitrate) "Forgiveness Viejita" (1927, José A. Ferreyra) by Fundación Cinemateca Argentina GOTIKA partnership.

The film archive intends to enlighten people´s awareness of a heritage treasure dating 110 years back in time and of the necessity for the archive to invest in equipment, additional staff and knowhow to be able to make the film heritage available thorough digital restoration. For this aim the archive presents on this historical date it's first modern restoration of a historical film called Murder Story (1977), which has the status of being the first modern Icelandic feature film production at it´s time.

MTVA remembers the events of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956; we would like to record, collect and save the memories of the events of 60 years ago, preserve the most important moments of these days of Hungarian history. We hope that these materials will help us to organize the commemoration in a way worthy of the Revolution.

On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, MTVA invited Hungarian people living all around the world to present their individual stories, photos or objects in connection with the Revolution. The aim of this campaign called 1956 through my eyes was to show the events of our War of Independence which have influenced the life and fate of thousands of Hungarian people.

The viewers have offered us pictures, stories which made the murderous 50s, our glorious revolution, the battle for independence, the fear during the flight and the reprisal terror unforgettable. An almost forgotten photo, an old letter found in a drawer or any object you haven’t wanted to present up to now, can become part of our national remembrance. At the 60th Anniversary of the Hungarian Revolution, the viewers tell their stories and send these photos we can publish and present. This way, we can see how the history became part of the life of our viewers.

Using the materials received from our viewers, we make a program in which we present and preserve personal stories and objectives of those who took part in the Revolution. MTVA preserves the interviews in its Archives; they will be free for research. This way, we will help historians to further elaborate the history of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956.

National Film Archive of India (NFAI) celebrated UNESCO’s ‘World Day for Audiovisual Heritage’ today (27 October) at its Phase –I (Law college road) premises. Keeping in sync with this year’s theme – “It’s your story – don’t lose it” – NFAI observed the day by putting up an all-day exhibition at its premises, showcasing the journey of the organization. The exhibition was open to all and saw a good turnout.
In addition, various sections of the organization such as the library, documentation section and projection room were open to the public. NFAI also gave guided tours of its film restoration vaults.
As a pledge to the cause of film preservation, NFAI also felicitated Pune-based donors of film & non-film content to our collection.

VIAA seeks to archive the audiovisual heritage of Flanders in a sustainable and accesible way.

Along with its content partners VIAA has created the 'Archive for Education' (Het Archief voor Onderwijs). A digital platform that offers teachers audiovisual material that can be used to better achieve teaching objectives. This audiovisual heritage can be used for illustrative purposes during lessons, as a starting point for further discussion or to make students more media-savvy.

On October 27, during the UNESCO World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, VIAA organises a seminar for more than 100 teachers and teachers in training to discover the potential of audiovisual heritage in the classroom.

This is a Dutch spoken event.

On the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage 2016, IFLA's Audiovisual and Multimedia Section and IASA's National Archives Section join forces to launch a new survey of audiovisual deposit laws.

Why a survey? Our audiovisual heritage needs to be preserved in order to provide universal access to information. But there is little information on the state of legal deposit for audiovisual materials around the world. We hope that such information on worldwide practices will help individual countries to obtain or improve their own legal deposit legislation.

We need your help. To create the new AV Legal Deposit register, for each country about which you have knowledge, please complete this short questionnaire:
Legal deposit questionnaire

And, note that we need information even for those countries that do not have legal deposit legislation for audiovisual materials. By completing the questionnaire, you will help to build a useful reference source. Information provided will be published online by IASA and by IFLA as a permanent reference to legal deposit legislation, country by country.

Thank you for your contributions to this initiative!

Through mutual cooperation, the Philippines and Japan have been learning to understand each other’s culture. 2016 marks the 60th Philippines-Japan Friendship Day and an important part of the shared history of these two countries is the Japanese occupation of the Philippines during World War II. A few Philippine films tackle this time in history but one of the most prominent ones is “Tatlong Taong Walang Diyos” (Three Godless Years).

It is a distinctive historical film because it depicts the Japanese occupation by revolving around the life of a Filipina and a Philippine-born Japanese soldier. Instead of portraying the opposing nationalities as antagonists and protagonists, it represented what war does to everyone, regardless of race.

Based on our research, the film prints housed in the Cultural Center of the Philippines are the last copy of this awarded film in the country that is in fairly good condition. Because of this, the ABS-CBN Film Archives took haste in restoring this film of great social, cultural, and artistic value.

Films such as these not only enrich our culture but also allow us to understand our history through a different perspective. As an archive, we are grateful to be able to preserve stories such as these.

In the early part of November, ʻUluʻulu Hawaii’s official state archive for moving images has two events that coincide with World Day for Audiovisual Heritage.

On November 2nd, ʻUluʻulu will participate in the Hawaiian Media Makers conference. The conference provides an arena for Hawaii media making professionals to learn different platforms, connect with others in the field, and bring Hawaiian media to a global audience.

And on November 6th, for the fourth consecutive year, we will be presenting at the Hawaii International Film Festival. This year we will showcase “Preserving Olympic Dreams and Plantation Memories," a restored and digitized edition of the 1984 documentary, "Coach," originally produced by the Center for Labor Education & Research (CLEAR) as part of CLEAR's Rice & Roses television series. The half hour program tells the story of how Maui plantation kids, banned from the whites-only swimming pool, trained in irrigation ditches in the 1930s. Finding strength and determination through the sport, the group went on to win national and even Olympic championships under Coach Soichi Sakamoto.

This special HIFF program highlights a collaborative preservation and digitization effort (the Rice & Roses Digitization Project), sponsored by 'Ulu 'ulu, Hawai’i Council for the Humanities (HCH), and CLEAR that will provide public access to hundreds of hours of never before seen film, videos, and full length interviews that document Hawaiʻi's plantation era. The digital files will be available to educators, students, and researchers to bring images of a bygone era to life and enrich the understanding of Hawaiʻi plantation and swimming history.

Before World War Two, there was an extensive production of Jewish recordings in Eastern Europe. Because of the holocaust, many of them are extremely rare today. Suomen Äänitearkisto, the Finnish Institute for Recorded Sound, owns a collection of historical Jewish 78rpm records from many countries. It is named after the late record producer and collector Harry Orvomaa, who donated a large number of records to the archive. The collection consists of about 500 recordings, c. 1910-1955, and has now been digitized with the support of the Kone Foundation.

The catalogue of the Orvomaa collection will now be published on the Dismarc website (Discovering Music Archives). Label scans and many audio samples are included. Selected items from the collection will also be available in Europeana Sounds. Highlights of the collection include interpretations by famous cantors and actors from the Jewish theatres in Warsaw, Bucharest, Vienna and New York. There is also a recording of Jacob Gordin’s famous Yiddish play Mirele Efros, by Ester Steinbock, who appeared in the Jewish theatre company in Viipuri (Viborg) in the 1930s.

To study the collection, go to the Dismarc site, choose “advanced search” and “archive=HOC”.

RTÉ Archives reveals the Weird and Wonderful Collection, specially created by RTÉ Archives to mark the UNESCO World Day for Audiovisual Heritage on Thursday 27th October

Celebrating some eccentricities and nuances of Irish life; stories on opera singing dogs, weather forecasting goats, a UFO in Mullinahone and hunting monsters in Connemara and magician priest who balances his niece on a sworare among the wonderful oddities

RTÉ Archives, the largest audiovisual archive collection in Ireland, has decided to mark the UNESCO World Day for audiovisual arhcives day by delving into the vaults to bring audiences a unique ‘Weird and Wonderful’ collection of fifteen videos, which illustrate some eccentricities and nuances of Irish life in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s.

The Weird and Wonderful collection is presented on RTÉ Archive’s website http://www.rte.ie/archives/weirdandwonderful, where content from the archives is published on a daily basis. So far this year, over 1,000 stories have been made available with the site attracting 1.4 million visits to date in 2016. To keep up with the latest stories from the archives follow @RTEArchives on Facebook and Twitter.

Liam Wylie, Curator at RTÉ Archives said “We really enjoyed putting the Weird and the Wonderful collection together. It is a presentation of some of the more offbeat or bizarre stories of Irish life captured by RTÉ that will make you smile. We also hope it will make you think about the value of preserving audiovisual content for the future.”

Consisting of Ireland’s largest audio visual collection, with over 650,000 thousand hours of moving image and sound recordings together with significant collections of photographs, manuscripts and administrative documents, RTÉ Archives maintains and preserves a unique record of Irish life in the interest of the Irish public.

Commenting on the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, Bríd Dooley, Head of RTÉ Archives and newly elected President of FIAT/ IFTA said “The archives abound with stories which clearly connects with audiences everywhere. UNESCO World Day for Audiovisual Heritage is a great opportunity to showcase the importance of keeping these memories intact for future generations and to shine a light on the fantastic work of the audiovisual archive sector and the continued need for funding to preserve these precious collections.”

The Video Library of the University Television in the Division of Cultural Diffusion of the Autonomous University of San Luis Potosi, Mexico joins the celebrations for the World Day of Audiovisual Heritage presenting a series of interviews with professionals of information, in the international, national and local levels who address the issue of preservation of audiovisual heritage. These interviews and a video allusive to the World Day for audiovisual heritage, will be available on the YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/uaslptv

Joining together the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage and the program “The Work of the Film Archives”, presented in Lisbon during the months of October and November by occasion of the 20th Anniversary of the ANIM (Conservation Centre of the Cinemateca Portuguesa-Museu do Cinema), the session is a tribute to the safeguarding efforts of all the film archives in the world, in this case through the example of the Svenska Filminstitutet, whose Curator of Archival Collections Jon Wengström will be present and introduce the projection.

The World Day for Audiovisual Heritage is celebrated every October 27th, a special date settled by UNESCO General Conference in 2005. This is an important opportunity to bring attention to, and discuss necessary action that film archives need worldwide, highlighting their importance as key institutions for nations’ cultural identities.

To commemorate this occasion, Cinemateca Brasileira, in partnership with 40th São Paulo International Film Festival, will be presenting a program with three special screenings for this year’s edition. At 5 p.m., there will be a screening of the feature film “A grande cidade”, directed by Carlos Diegues and starring Antonio Pitanga, who will be honored with the Leon Cakoff Prize this year.

Next, at 7 p.m, seven short films directed by cinematographer Aloysio Raulino will be presented to the public, followed by the launch of the DVD box “Coleção Aloysio Raulino”, which will be distributed free of charge to the audience.

The third and last screening of the day will be at 9 p.m., with “Bom dia, noite”, a film directed by Marco Bellocchio, who will also be celebrated in this year’s edition of the festival. This is a 35mm print that was loaned by Archivio Storico Istituto Luce (Italy). 

The BFI National Archive's lastest restoration is of the travelogue Ruins of Palmyra and Baalbek (1938), shot in Technicolor by the great cinematographer Jack Cardiff. The film has unexpectedly become a valuable historical and archaeological record of the Arch of Triumph in Palmyra, Syria, which – at the time of filming – had already been “wrecked by a succession of wars” but managed to retain its splendour. However, in October 2015, the iconic arch was blown up by Isis and very little of it remains intact today.

An exhibition conceived and curated by the Institut Lumière of Lyon, and brought outside France for the very first time. The story of the family that invented the Cinématographe: Antoine, painter and photographer, his two sons Louis and Auguste, so capable that, when still adolescents, they take the reins of the family business.
It is Louis, aged just 17, who invents the famous Etiquette Bleue, a very sensitive photographic plate, for that era, allowing the instant capture of reality for the very first time. The Lumière factory is the first photographic industry in Europe, and by 1884 already employs more than 250 people.
During those same years a race of patents and inventions between Europe and the United States breaks out: the photography of movement is the subject of relentless research, an epic story which we are able to recount also thanks to the contribution of the collections of the Museo Nazionale del Cinema in Turin and the Cinémathèque Royale de Belgique.
It will be Louis who invents the Cinématographe: the Lumière brothers are the last inventors and at the same time the first authors and programmers of cinema. And we don’t just owe the Cinématographe to the Lumières, but also a series of extraordinary inventions, including the beautiful Autochromes (the first colour photograph) and 3D projection.
All this and much more, in an exhibition that takes us to a long forgotten place in Bologna, and to the origins of the modern gaze on the world.

Wedding Bells for Hedy is sequel to Doe's delicately crafted Our Sister Hedy (1957) that scrutinises the myth of marital bliss to minute detail, by first training the lens on Big Sis (Mu Hong) who is racked with insecurity over her husband's suspected infidelity, then moving on to Second Sis (Julie Yeh Feng) and her husband (Peter Chen Ho) whose unfounded jealousy opens a can of worms. Yet it is Hedy (Jeanette Lin Tsui) who steals the show, the smooth operator who helps iron out the marital troubles of her sisters. Sparks fly and tempers flare when their opposing temperaments and likes and dislikes collide in a tour de force of witty, barbed dialogues. The ending of their dying father fulfilling his final wish by walking Hedy down the aisle on her wedding day does get a tad overly sentimental, but fairly so. Hong Kong Film Archive acquired a copy of 35mm and a copy of 16mm from Cathay Organisation in Singapore in 2004. This Digital Beta was scanned from an incomplete 35mm print with missing 7th and 8th reels amounting to about 20 minutes of visuals. We took the images on the 16mm film with a high-resolution digital camera and created four sets of pictorial storyline with brief textual descriptions. Although this is an incomplete version, the chance to view Hedy and her sisters in all its Eastman Colour glory more than makes up for this slight disappointment.

The Asian Film Archive (AFA) marks UNESCO’s World Day for Audiovisual Heritage on 27 Oct 2016 with a film preservation advocacy campaign, Save Our Film (#saveourfilm). Watch AFA’s advocacy video and a call to action by award winning Asian filmmakers Lav Diaz, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Tan Chui Mui, Lucky Kuswandi, Anthony Chen and Eric Khoo amongst others encouraging fellow filmmakers to save Asia’s cinematic heritage with the AFA. Check out these videos and more at asianfilmarchive.org/saveourfilm.

When the Albanian Cinema Project (ACP) celebrates the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage it emphasizes the word world. More than 70 archivists, filmmakers, and students from around the globe gathered in Tirana, Albania from October 17-28 for the Archives in Motion (AIM) Workshops. The event brings together archivists from the Balkans to share information and new techniques in media preservation, and bring attention to the amazing quality of Albanian cinema and the urgent need to save these endangered films.

Held at the Albanian National Film Archive (Archivi Qendror Shtetror I Filmit) and the Marubi Academy of Film and Multimedia (Akademia e Film dhe Multimedias Marubi) the 2 weeks have been filled with intensive workshops, hands-on training with analog and digital media, demos of video and film digitization, and screenings of one-of-a-kind film prints on 35mm and new documentaries constructed out of archival footage from the Balkans. Equally important has been the rare opportunity for prolonged conversations with colleagues from the Balkans, Europe, North America and Asia. Saving our shared cinematic heritage is a mission that exists beyond borders.

The ambitious curriculum covered handling and identifying photochemical film prints and legacy videotapes, to a range of techniques for digitizing archival moving images, to emerging best practices for caring for digital files. On the first day of the workshop, Skip Elsheimer from A/V Geeks (USA) led the participants through a DIY way to scan film using a Lomography Smartphone Scanner. Obviously, the results do not match the quality of professional film scanners but the exercise laid the theoretical basis for how scanners work, which came in handy when participants worked with a Lasergraphic’s ScanStation Personal, brought to AIM by Koushik Bhattacharya from Quality Matters in Mumba. Plus, everyone got to get their hands on film on the first day! Jonathan Farbowitz, a recent graduate of NYU's  MIAP program, led a training session in the philosophies of digital preservation by presenting some of the risks to digital media as well as a number of solutions such as redundancy, refreshing files, and migration. Gabor Pinter  (Hungarian Filmlab/Magyar Filmabor) presented a case study on the digital restoration of a rare Michael Curtiz film The Undesirable (1915) to discuss the ethical challenges film restorers now face thanks to the ability of digital technology to alter moving images beyond their original look. Nancy Goldman, of the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, in collaboration with Kate Dollenmayer (Wende Museum) and Lindsay Zarwell (USHMM), led multiple sessions on cataloging moving images including sections on the importance of adopting widely used standards and the importance of using proper filenaming conventions. Reto Kromer, from AV Preservation (Switzerland), addressed proper storage conditions for long term survival of film and video, and how to select the appropriate file format for digitizing media. David Walsh (Imperial War Museum) addressed evolving best practices for film preservation, and Daniel Borosa of Croation Radio TV reported on a survey of the region's TV archives. A roundtable on the feasibility of collaborative projects will close the workshops.

El jueves 27 de octubre celebraremos el Día Mundial de Patrimonio Audiovisual con la proyección de la película "Caña Brava" (1966), del director Ramón Pereda.

National Audiovisual Institute (NInA) on the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage

On the occasion of the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, celebrated on October 27th, the National Audiovisual Institute (NInA) organizes an audiovisual seminar and invites to participate in the screening of the first part of Krzysztof Kieślowski’s “Dekalog” and in the competition of recognizing voices of famous people from the records made available in the NInA Archives.

October 26th 2016, National Audiovisual Institute, Warsaw, Poland

Audiovisual seminar: mobile applications in culture

Time: 10.00 – 16.00

On Wednesday, the day before World Day for Audiovisual Heritage in National Audiovisual Institute (NInA) organises an audiovisual seminar on the topic of creating simple technological solutions in small libraries, culture centers and other cultural institutions.

The easier access to the Internet, prevalence of mobile devices, such as smartphones or tablets, and the development of new technologies have caused a change in the way of communication between the users and the institution, but also have revolutionized the way of approaching cultural education, sharing and spreading knowledge on the institution’s resources and projects. The use of applications that are functional and adjusted to the needs of the users in cultural or artistic projects may become an important element for building local community, enhancing engagement of receivers and making the offer more attractive.

On the World Day of Audiovisual Heritage National Audiovisual Institute (NInA), in order to remind how unique is the Polish film heritage, will start a cycle of 10 meetings with Krzysztof Kieślowski’s ‘Dekalog’. The series of screenings and discussions with ethicists, philosophers, culture and religion experts will be opened with the screening of ‘Dekalog I’ and discussion on the role technology plays in our lives and trust we have in it.

Krzysztof Kieślowski used to say that he was trying to create universal stories. This unique film cycle was broadcasted by the Polish Television in 1989 and 1990. The director, together with Krzysztof Piesiewicz – his long-term coworker and coauthor of screenplays to several films – had tried to look at the sense of ten commandments from the perspective of a contemporary person. Free entrance.

In recent decades Italian silent cinema has been intensively studied. A lot of film and non-film  materials have been brought to light, thanks to the perseverance of scholars and to the endeavors of institutions. The commitment in promoting the accessibility of this heritage material has become concrete via events and publications and now it is beginning to be accessible through several websites of online databases. Nevertheless, the resources relating to this period of cinema history do not always succeed in reaching all potential users.

With this purpose, the CSC - Cineteca Nazionale, with the support of the Direzione Cinema of the MiBACT (Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism), has undertaken the project “Portale del Cinema Muto Italiano”, conceived as an institutional showcase for the institutions dealing with the preservation of the Italian silent cinema heritage and as a meeting place between objects (films, photographs, posters, archival papers, periodicals) and interpretation systems (historical, filmographic and critical studies).

The structure of the Portal is articulated as the following:

Exhibitions and Itineraries. Educational section, conceived for the promotion of different topics relating to Italian silent cinema history. At present three itineraries have been developed: Leopoldo Fregoli e gli esordi del cinematografo in Italia, Storia del cinema muto in pillole (History of the Italian Silent Cinema “in small doses”) and Ritratti, a photographic selection of portraits of actors and actresses.

Materials. The complete list of the documents made accessible, such as films, stills and photographs, posters, archival documents, etc... At present about fifty films from the CSC-Cineteca Nazionale collection have been selected and more than a hundred photographs from the Photo and Stills Archive. A continuing implementation is expected, also by linking documents made available by other film archives.

Filmographies. The first contribution here is the digitized version of the filmography in 21 volumes by Aldo Bernardini and Vittorio Martinelli, Il cinema muto italiano (CSC- Nuova ERI, 1980-1996). Hopefully, further and complementary filmographies will be included.

Periodicals and monographs. It contains a list of periodicals and a selection of monographs, at present those available at the Biblioteca L. Chiarini of the CSC in Roma and the Bibliomediateca M. Gromo of the Museo Nazionale del Cinema in Torino. The goal is to extend the links to other important libraries and to link the digitized documents.

Bibliography and studies. A basic bibliography has been elaborated, together with a selection of articles from the periodical «Bianco e Nero». It is planned to develop a gradually updated bibliography and to create a sub-section containing the links to the web resources such as websites, databases, blogs, etc...

The “Portale del Cinema Muto Italiano is a completely “in-house” project, curated by the CSC in Rome. It takes advantage of Silvio Alovisio (Università di Torino) and Luca Mazzei (Università di Roma Tor Vergata) as scientific consultants.

The development is in progress and open to proposals and contributions: several contacts with institutions have already started.

Many others are expected, suggestions and proposals for contributions are welcome!

[EN] On the occasion of the 2016 World day for Audiovisual Heritage, La Filmoteca de Valencia (CulturArts IVAC) will organize free screenings of  "La industria de la seda" (1920) y "El monje de Porta-Coeli" (Ramón Orrico, 1926), two silent films recovered in the 1990s and newly restored. The screenings will be accompanied by piano music composed and performed by Arcadi Valiente.  No intertitles, screenplays or complementary technical indications were found in the case of "El monje...", so the reconstruction had to be based on Joan Arola's poem La sílfida del acueducto, which inspired the film.

"La industria de la seda" is an information documentary commisioned by the Ministry of Development Measures that describes the procedures and works leading to the obtention of the highly appreciated silk tissue, a major industry in Valencia over the 1920s and still prominent.

Both restoration works were accomplished thanks to the original negative prints, miraculously preserved over the years in very unstable climate conditions. Digitization at 2k was subsequently undergone.

A press conference will be hold also to spread the message of the UNESCO and communicate the motto: It's your story- Don't lose it.

[ES] Con motivo del Día Mundial del Patrimonio Audiovisual, la Filmoteca proyectará el jueves 27 de octubre, a las 20.15 horas, en una sesión gratuita, un programa doble de restauraciones recientes del Archivo Fílmico conformado por ‘La industria de la seda’ (1920) y ’El monje de Porta-Coeli’ (Ramón Orrico, 1926), dos películas mudas cuya proyección será acompañada al piano por el compositor e intérprete Arcadi Valiente.

‘La industria de la seda’ se inscribe en la tendencia de documentales divulgativos muy usados por el Ministerio de Fomento como apoyo a sus campañas de formación sobre diversos aspectos de la industria y la agricultura españolas de la época, y describe el cultivo de morera y la cría del gusano de seda como pasos previos para la obtención del preciado tejido, actividad comercial valenciana aún vigente en nuestros días.

En el caso de "El monje..." no se conservan los intertítulos, ni el guion, ni  indicaciones técnicas para el tiraje de las copias,  lo cual ha dificultado enormemente los trabajos de reconstrucción argumental, que han sido posibles en parte gracias a la localización del poema en que se basa el film, La sílfida del acueducto, de Joan Arola.

Ambas restauraciones se han llevado a cabo gracias a los negativos originales de cámara conservados milagrosamente pese a las adversas condiciones climáticas. La labor del Archivo Fílmico ha consistido en la salvaguarda de las imágenes con una duplicación fotoquímica de los nitratos y su posterior digitalización a 2k.

También se convocará una rueda de prensa para difundir el mensaje de la UNESCO y comunicar el lema It's your story- Don't lose it.

Con motivo del Día del Patrimonio Audiovisual, el departamento de archivo de la Biblioteca Tomás Navarro Tomás quiere destacar una de de las secciones del Laboratorio de Fonética del Instituto de Filología Miguel de Cervantes del CSIC, el Archivo del Habla de Madrid. Este conjunto documental reúne un gran número de grabaciones de madrileños que sirvieron para estudiar el habla culta de la ciudad de Madrid en los años 70. Se ha seleccionado una de las encuestas y se aporta el fichero de audio, las transcripciones y la información sobre el desarrollo del proyecto.

La documentación del Archivo del Habla de Madrid nos da una visión, no solamente de las cuestiones fonéticas estudiadas por el proyecto sino que además nos aporta una visión de las opiniones, el pensamiento y los gustos de la sociedad madrileña de la época en que se hicieron las grabaciones. Estas personas nos cedieron su voz y su historia, no podemos dejar que se pierdan: It´s Your Story - Don´t Lose It.

El 27 de octubre de 1980 la UNESCO adoptó la Recomendación sobre la salvaguardia y la conservación de las imágenes en movimiento con el propósito de subrayar la vulnerabilidad y fragilidad de dichas imágenes, así como la necesidad de conservarlas en las mejores condiciones técnicas posibles. También manifestó la importancia de difundir dichos documentos, los cuales forman parte integral de la identidad nacional y son considerados patrimonio de la humanidad. En conmemoración de la proclamación de 2005 de la UNESCO, la Filmoteca de la Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú conjuntamente con Vichama Teatro celebración que la Cineteca Nacional lleva a cabo anualmente.

En conmemoración de la proclamación del 27 de octubre como Día Mundial del Patrimonio Audiovisual, por la UNESCO, la Filmoteca de la Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú conjuntamente con el Centro Cultural PUCP y Vichama Teatro brindan a su público en esta celebración la proyección de la
película peruana restaurada por la Filmoteca PUCP:

DE CARNE SOMOS
de Sigifredo Salas, Perú, 1938.

DE CARNE SOMOS de Sigifredo Salas. Perú, 1938. Con Trini Delor, José Muñiz, Esperanza Ortiz de Pinedo, Hermanas Gloria, Angélica y Elvira Travesí, la cantante criolla Alicia Lizárraga.

El circo llega a un pequeño pueblo de la costa del Perú. Lo administra el inescrupuloso Orsini, que afronta problemas económicos. Orsini planea con Diana, la equilibrista, engañar a un personaje acaudalado del pueblo. Escogen a Alberto, que asiste al espectáculo acompañado de su madre, su esposa y su pequeña hija. Diana deberá seducirlo y después esquilmarlo, objetivo que consigue.

Historia de la película:
Primer largometraje dirigido para Amauta Films por el chileno Sigifredo Salas, quien llegó a la productora peruana por mediación del español Manuel Trullen. Salas compartía con el sonidista argentino Franciso Diumenjo, la convicción que el cine debía apelar de modo directo a las preferencias musicales, a las predilecciones sentimentales, al gusto medio de un público formado en el cultivo del folletín y el melodrama de gestos acentrados, por un lado, y de la comedia festiva y celebratoria, la exploración del "color local", por el otro. Por eso, Salas impuso a la película una tónica particular. Valorizó los aspectos abiertamente inverosímiles y pasadistas de la trama, aportó al filme un espesor típicamente cinematográfico, aún cuando éste pareciera calcado de las convenciones dramáticas al uso en el cine internacional. Así, en el curso del relato insertó voces en off, desplazó la cámara en travellings lentos, destinados a remarcar la degradación de Alberto, multiplicó las disolvencias para remarcar el efecto retórico del recuerdo doloroso o del arrepentimiento. Por último ejercitó el montaje por asociación de imágenes contiguas. A su turno, trabajó la iluminación para marcar la atmósfera en las tomas. El propósito de Salas era dar un paso a la "modernidad" en la producción de Amauta Films.

Director: Hans Behrendt, Writer: Heinz Goldberg, Cinematography: Nicolas Farkas, Music: Artur Guttman, starring Fritz Kortner, Lucie Mannheim, Gustav Gründgens, Alexander Granach

The major attraction of DANTON, which is based on the play of the same name, are the performances of Fritz Kortner and Gustav Gründgens. DANTON is one of the few available documents that showcases Kortner’s extraordinary command of language and rhetorical power. The Deutsches Filminstitut – DIF has been creating and continues to create digital versions of selected films from the national film heritage for theatrical distribution to ensure that in the future these films can still be projected in theatres that are only equipped with digital projectors. DANTON has been digitally restored as part of this project in 2015 and is now available for theatres as a DCP through our distributor. This project has been funded by the federal commissioner of culture and media.

On the occasion of the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, the recording of almost all bells in Malta will be deposited at the National Archives of Malta.

Mr Rayden Mizzi will donate a digital copy of his recordings (audio and visual) of bells in Malta and Gozo.  In this project, started in 2006, Mr Mizzi included over 3,600 recordings featuring some 1,200 different bells in 375 different locations (mostly churches but include also other venues).

The recordings feature the use of bells in several occasions within the life of the local communities, varying from the celebratory use during the annual festive celebrations to funerals and commemoration of the deceased.

Bell ringing has been a key constituent of the Maltese soundscape for hundreds of years. In his autobiography "The Moon's a Balloon", David Niven claimed that "yells, bells and smells" was a derogatory expression used by "jocks" to describe Malta.

TVE commemorates this year the 60 anniversary of its first broadcasting.  The day before to the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, the RTVE Corporation will celebrate a one day conference with the theme: “60 years of the TVE Archive: looking ahead”.

El proper dijous, dia 27 d'octubre, a les 8 del vespre, al Teatre Municipal de Lloret de Mar, amb motiu del Dia Mundial del Patrimoni Audiovisual, projectarem el següent muntatge audiovisual:

"En record de Joan Baptista Bernat i Sarró. El Lloret Màgic d’en Bernat. Retrospectiva dels anys seixanta i -setanta".

En aquesta projecció podreu reconèixer a persones ben conegudes de la societat lloretenca dels anys seixanta i setanta, podreu veure la transformació urbana del poble, podreu reviure els actes i inauguracions que marcaren aquella època i podreu identificar als personatges famosos que visitaren Lloret.

La UNESCO va proclamar el dia 27 d’octubre com el DIA MUNDIAL DEL PATRIMONI AUDIOVISUAL; i per tant, aquesta diada s’ha convertit en un punt de trobada pels arxius de tot el món, que ho aprofitem per a reivindicar el valor de la documentació audiovisual, per a sensibilitzar a la ciutadania de la importància de conservar tot aquest material (tan fràgil i tan sensible) en les millors condicions possibles, per a difondre imatges ben interessants que ens poden ajudar a recuperar la memòria històrica de Lloret de Mar, i per a donar a conèixer la tasca que es realitza als arxius en relació a tot aquest patrimoni: una conservació adequada, la digitalització de les imatges, la descripció dels personatges i indrets que hi apareixen, i la difusió de les projeccions amb ple respecte a la procedència i a la autoria de les filmacions. Conscients, doncs, de la fragilitat i la importància d’aquest patrimoni audiovisual, cal prendre les mesures necessàries per protegir-lo i llegar-lo en les millors condicions a les futures generacions.

La Comisión de Archivos Universitarios -CAU-CONARE-, integrada por los archivos de las cinco universidades estatales de Costa Rica, organiza para el Jueves 27 de octubre el Simposio “Hacia la conservación del Patrimonio Audiovisual en las Universidades Estatales”, en el marco de la celebración del Día del Patrimonio Audiovisual declarada por la UNESCO desde el 2005.

La actividad, dirigida al personal encargado de los documentos audiovisuales en las cinco universidades públicas: Universidad de Costa Rica, Instituto Tecnológico de Costa Rica, Universidad Nacional, Universidad Estatal a Distancia, Universidad Tecnológica Nacional y el Consejo Nacional de Rectores, abordará por medio de dos mesas redondas, la importancia de este tipo de documentos y pretende concienciar acerca de las iniciativas que se emprendan para su preservación para las futuras generaciones. Otro de los temas que se analizará es la inminente transición de las tecnologías analógicas a las tecnologías digitales.

Durante la mañana de este día se llevará a cabo la Mesa Redonda  “El patrimonio audiovisual y su importancia”, donde diferentes expertos en la materia intercambiarán sus conocimientos acerca de la situación del patrimonio audiovisual a nivel nacional, su evolución y cómo enfrentar el apagón tecnológico.

Por la tarde, en la Mesa Redonda titulada “Medidas preventivas para una adecuada conservación de los documentos audiovisuales”, otro grupo de expertos debatirá sobre aspectos relativos a la preservación y restauración de los diferentes soportes y los retos frente a la preservación digital.

Con esta actividad se pretende crear conciencia acerca de la riqueza, fragilidad y vulnerabilidad de este patrimonio en la cultura del siglo XXI.

A l’occasion de la Journée mondiale du patrimoine audiovisuel, le jeudi 27 octobre, la Cinémathèque suisse programme l’une des œuvres majeures de l’histoire du cinéma suisse. Inspiré de faits réels et tourné pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Die letzte Chance de Leopold Lindtberg interroge à chaud la question des réfugiés et la politique d’asile de la Suisse durant le conflit. Il est représentatif d’une série de longs métrages à succès tournés entre la fin des années 1930 et le milieu des années 1960, et produits en grande partie par la même société, Praesens Film à Zurich. Sa restauration numérique a été présentée en première mondiale dans le cadre de la section Cannes Classics du festival 2016, soixante-dix ans après sa sélection officielle lors de la première édition de la manifestation. Cette restauration a été pilotée par la Cinémathèque suisse et la Schweizer Radio und Fernsehen (SRF), avec le soutien de Memoriav, et réalisée auprès du laboratoire Hiventy. C’est la première fois qu’un film suisse est retenu dans cette section du Festival de Cannes consacrée aux classiques restaurés.

Die letzte Chance Leopold Lindtberg · Suisse · 1945 · 113' · v.o. s-t fr.

Italie du Nord, 1943. Deux prisonniers de guerre alliés, un Anglais et un Américain, s’évadent lorsque le train qui les conduit en Allemagne est bombardé. Recueillis par un curé de village, ils deviennent passeurs, prenant la tête d’un groupe de réfugiés qui tente de rejoindre la Suisse par la montagne… Un an après Marie-Louise, Leopold Lindtberg signe une nouvelle œuvre pleine d’humanisme sur la thématique des réfugiés de guerre en Suisse. Elle remporte le Grand Prix à Cannes en 1946 et connaît un succès mondial. «Par sa dignité, ce film transcende le simple document réaliste pour devenir une allégorie: celle de la quête d’un refuge, d’une patrie. Ne serait-ce qu’à ce titre, Die letzte Chance mérite sa place de classique parmi les œuvres saillantes de l’après-guerre» (Hervé Dumont, Histoire du cinéma suisse).

En el día Mundial del Patrimonio Audiovisual el Archivo Fotográfico Jalón Ángel quiere mostrar su historia y que no se pierda, tal y como dice el lema de este año: “It’s your story – Don’t Lose It”.

Para ello, hemos creado un vídeo a través de unas fotografías que disponemos en el archivo sobre los comienzos de la escuela San Valero. Esta escuela fue fundada por Jalón Ángel y por este motivo la familia cedió su legado al centro.

De esta forma, a través del video se puede ver cómo era el Grupo San Valero en sus comienzos, dando a conocer la historia de este, mostrando la obra de Jalón Ángel y su figura como fundador de este centro.

Este vídeo se publicará el día 27 de octubre en las redes sociales del Archivo y en distintas pantallas que hay distribuidas por la Universidad San Jorge y en todos los centros del Grupo San Valero. 

The Jalón Ángel's Photographic Archive wants to show its history and works even harder today in the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage (WDAVH), sponsored by UNESCO and organized by the CCAAA (Co-ordinating Council of Audiovisual Archives Associations). The theme this year is "It’s Your Story – Don’t Lose It".

To celebrate this day The Jalón Ángel's Photographic Archive has created a video with some of the photographs we have on the beginnings of San Valero School. This centre was created by Jalón Ángel.

In this video we show the first years of the San Valero Group which first educational centre was the San Valero School, and now it has 5 centres: Secondary school, Audiovisual Centre, Online learning, the Dominican Republic Centre and San Jorge University.

We will publish this video the next October 27th on our social networks and in every centre of San Valero Group.

Taiyu pian refers to the Taiwanese-dialect films shot between 1955 and 1981. In these local productions, the characters speak only Taiwanese (a.k.a. Taiwanese Minnan or Hokkien) despite their various backgrounds in the story. The inception of Taiyu pian‘s popularity started with Ho Chi-ming’s Xue Pinggui and Wang Baochuan in 1956, a folk-legend film trilogy starred by a local Taiwanese opera troupe. Its phenomenal success established the golden age of Taiyu pian, marking this year the 60th anniversary of this historical film heritage. In the 20-odd years of the vibrant Taiwanese-dialect film industry, over 1000 films were produced; unfortunately, less than 200 of them have survived and been preserved at the Taiwan Film Institute.

To coincide with the spirit of World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, Taiwan Film Institute will host two major open air screenings outside Taipei’s historical landmark, Taipei Zhongshan Hall. The screenings will present TFI’s newly restored Taiwanese-dialect films, Brother Wang and Brother Liu Tour Taiwan (1959) and The Fantasy of the Deer Warrior (1961).

Right before the screening on 29th, a ceremony celebrating the WDAH will announce TFI’s new restored classics in 2016, and pay homage to the generous sponsors of the restorations and donors of film equipment and materials. Taiwan’s Minister of Culture, Ms. Cheng Li-chiun, will also attend the ceremony and give a speech to acknowledge the significance of preserving our national film heritage.

FANCINE – FANTASTIC FILM FESTIVAL is organized entirely by the University of Malaga, public institution that has among its basic functions the transmission and criticism of the culture.

As a member of FIAF and as part of our mission to transform the way people see the world, through film, TIFF actively acquires 35mm prints for purposes of both the preservation and the presentation of films in their original format.

To mark the UNESCO World Day for Audiovisual Heritage — an event which sees libraries, archives, and film institutions around the globe offering public screenings of treasures from their vaults to raise awareness of the need for film preservation and the conservation of our audiovisual heritage — TIFF is proud to present this screening of a recently acquired 35mm print of Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck's Academy Award–winning The Lives of Others.

We are celebrating that we are able to release for general listeners and viewers, several thousand audio and video clips, thanks to the generosity of descendants to the recorded informants. The clips can be found on our web catalogue at www.webbfiol.se:8082 All one has to do is to set up a user account for free, and start searching. Our catalog is in Swedish only, alas.

The DVD introduces a selection of works by three Estonian cinematographers from the early days of Estonian documentary filmmaking - Konstantin Märska, Theodor Luts and Armas Hirvonen.

The films and their digital copies are preserved in the Film Archives of the National Archives of Estonia.

The films were digitally restored in 2016 by Õie Kukk. 

The original soundtracks were restored in 2016 by Markus Andreas. The new soundtracks were composed and recorded by Aleksandra Koel, Liisa Taul, Janeli Adermann, Juhan Vihterpal, Markus Andreas and Gert Mäll under the supervision of Tiina Andreas and Ants Andreas, and with the support of Jaak Lõhmus, at the Tallinn University Baltic Film, Media, Arts and Communication School.

TV Girona (TVGi) started to broadcast on 26th October 1986 during the fairs and festivals of Sant Narcís at the city of Girona. Few years later, TVGi became a television station capable of bring to the citizens of Girona the images and sounds of their nearest reality. The archive of TVGi is today an important source for research and knowledge on the recent past of the city. In this lecture, Pau Saavedra, Archives Technician at the Centre for Image Research and Diffusion (CRDI) of the Girona City Council, will talk about the relationship between this television station and the visual memory of the city in the last 30 years.

Recently, the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision started work on its “Treasures” series. As the first theme in the series, the Institute has chosen eleven movie titles that have been nominated for – or even won – an Oscar® at some time in the past. Each title has been responsible for putting the Netherlands on the creative industry map in its own way.

To recognize World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, Centro de Cultura Digital will screen Novaro, The Mexican Colossus which traces the unknown story behind one of the biggest comic companies in Latin America, Editorial Novaro, its place in the Mexican comic industry, its relation with the state, church and its role in shaping the middle class until it disappeared with no apparent reason in 1985.
