Pelo terceiro ano, o Icict e a Casa de Oswaldo Cruz promovem, no mês de novembro, uma atividade de debates em torno da preservação do patrimônio audiovisual. Nessa edição, o III Seminário do Patrimônio Audiovisual em Saúde na Fiocruz traz o foco para ferramentas, métodos e plataformas de preservação digital de audiovisuais. O seminário é gratuito e será realizado na terça-feira, 14 de novembro, às 9h, no Salão de Leitura da Biblioteca de Manguinhos.

Promovido pelo Centro de Estudos do Icict, o evento é alusivo ao Dia Mundial do Patrimônio Audiovisual, 27 de outubro, estabelecido pela Organização das Nações Unidas para a Educação, a Ciência e a Cultura (Unesco). De acordo com a organização, documentos audiovisuais tem um papel crucial no patrimônio cultural, guardando aspectos da memória coletiva e transmitindo conhecimento. A data comemorativa visa aumentar a conscientização sobre sua importância e valorizar os profissionais e instituições responsáveis pela missão de preservá-los.

A programação do seminário conta com a mesa redonda ‘Plataformas digitais e sua aplicação na preservação e difusão de acervos audiovisuais’, com o mediador Antônio Laurindo, do Arquivo Nacional. Os debatedores serão Rubens Ribeiro Gonçalves da Silva, da Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA), que abordará a iniciativa Legatum, um conjunto de metodologias colaborativas para repositórios digitais de preservação de acervos audiovisuais; e Antônio Júnior, do Centro de Mídia Independente, que discutirá o tema "Audiovisual como estratégia de informação e comunicação alternativa em contraponto à grande mídia"; e Victor Ribeiro, representante da Witness Brasil, que fará o lançamento da publicação 'Guia de Arquivamento de vídeo para ativistas'.

Esse ano, a Unesco sugeriu como mote para o Dia Mundial do Patrimônio Audiovisual o lema “Descubra, lembre-se e compartilhe”. Seguindo essa linha, o seminário debate as plataformas digitais e seu papel para a preservação e difusão dos acervos audiovisuais. O evento acontece em paralelo à Semana Fluminense do Patrimônio, que inclui uma série de atividades voltadas ao tema, e também acompanha a agenda da Fiocruz, que atualmente se debruça em torno da elaboração de uma política institucional de preservação de acervos.

"Esperamos fomentar as discussões sobre a relevância desse tema em um momento tão crucial e marcante, sobretudo no que diz respeito às formas de se pensar em como preservar o patrimônio audiovisual da Fiocruz. Sendo o audiovisual o gênero documental mais impactado pela questão tecnológica e pelos desafios impostos pela era digital, acreditamos que, a VideoSaúde/Icict e a Casa de Oswaldo Cruz têm um papel protagonista em discussões sobre o tema da preservação audiovisual, no âmbito da instituição", aponta um dos organizadores do encontro, João Guilherme Machado, da VideoSaúde.

No campo audiovisual, a Fiocruz detém acervo de interesse especial ao campo da ciência e da saúde, com material histórico em diversos suportes, como filmes, fitas, dentre outros. As inscrições são gratuitas e aqueles que se registrarem antecipadamente, pelo site de eventos do Icict, receberão certificado de participação. Vagas limitadas. O seminário também pode ser assistido pela internet, ao vivo, no canal da VideoSaúde Distribuidora.

In celebration of the 2017 UNESCO World Day for Audiovisual Heritage on the theme of ‘Discover Remember and Share’, Sharjah Institue for Heritage concluded a workshop titled " Archiving of the Audiovisual Documents: Establishing Strategies and Work Mechanisms".

The aim of this workshop was to clarify the concepts and terminology related to archives and to provide the scientific and practical standards for the preservation and management of audiovisual archives. In addition, the lecturers focused on the methods and tools of conversion and preservation and the most important challenges facing the audiovisual archive, through workshops that dealt with how to plan and determine the requirements and needs to access a secure and integrated archive.

In celebration of the 2017 UNESCO World Day for Audiovisual Heritage on the theme of ‘Discover Remember and Share’, FIAT/IFTA has taken an audiovisual look back at its own 40 year history in a series of interviews and moments in time from the archives which recall the founding of the Federation, its mission, growth, and impact  since 1977.

FIAT/IFTA celebrated its 40th anniversary with its founding President Anne Hanford, formerly of BBC Archives, in Mexico City in October as part of its World Conference Programme.

On the last years, the Cinemateca Brasileira celebrated the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage presenting a film at the free span space of the Museu de Arte de São Paulo during the São Paulo Int'l Film Festival.

ARCHIVIO APERTO (10.27-12.02/2017)

Archivio Aperto marks the tenth year in the evolution of Home Movies - Archivio Nazionale del Film di Famiglia (National Italian Home Movies Archive). 

A full overview of this year's program:
The Italian landscape by car as shot by amateur filmmakers, a theme offering incredible visual richness starting from the program’s inaugural screening.
Experimental and artistic cinema, cultural heritage of immeasurable value reinforced by the activities at Home Movies through screenings of footage not seen since the time of its creation. An incredible story told by two 8mm films shot during World War II, only to be developed seventy years later— eyewitnesses to be deciphered in the present day. Also featured are formerly unpublished films of everyday life in the Golden Age of Sarajevo and Yugoslavia roughly twenty-five years following the onset of conflict.
A tribute to special guest Gustav Deutsch, the international master of found footage filmmaking, with a double focus on his reuse of home movies.
Also included are Italian documentaries made with images drawn from the Home Movie Archive that deal with themes inseparable from contemporary society.
Among other things, there are many ideas on a final note for the Italian Cinebox and the French Scopitone. The Juke-box with videoclips of family memories will also be playing again for AA2017!
Someone once said that Home Movies is the “garbage dump” of history, and that is a compliment: an idea that has been forgotten because it is obsolete and deemed no longer useful re-surfaces as archaeological and historical gold in a future era. Someone also argued that Home Movies is the “regenerator” of History, and this is also true, because in these ten years we have learned that the archive often puts the emotions, thoughts, and actions of our contemporaries back into motion.

RTÉ News reports recorded on videotape between 1985 and 1999 have been digitised for long term preservation with the support of the BAI Archiving Scheme.

The News Collection is being made available to view online beginning with stories from 1985 and new content being added on a regular basis.

To celebrate World Day for Audio Visual Heritage, we are pleased to announce that over 600 audio tapes (1/4” open reel and audio cassettes) that document the history of FIAF Congresses and Executive Committee meetings, dating from 1977-1997, have been identified and sorted, and now properly and archivally housed, and preserved. These unique historical documents had been stored for decades in the room temperature FIAF office and were not accessible, nor had these items been digitized for preservation purposes.

Indiana University Libraries Moving Image Archive (IULMIA), a FIAF Member, is now the archival home of the tapes, which have been archived and digitized, with the original materials stored in IULMIA’s offsite vault at 50° F and 30% RH, and the newly digitized files kept both in IULMIA’s dual location data storage repositories, and on hard discs in FIAF’s Brussels office.

Since July 2017, IULMIA has digitized 31 ¼ audio tapes and 372 audio cassette tapes and the remaining 274 tapes will be digitized in the coming months.

We are currently working on plans for making these important items accessible to researchers in the future.

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 digitally restored mid-length Slovak documentary film World Championship (1970) from documentary filmmaker Milan Černák. The film was made on the occasion of the FIS Nordic World Ski Championship in High Tatras in the year 1970. The film World Championship is part of the archive collection of the National Film Archive of the Slovak Film Institute (SFI) and was digitally restored this year. Guests of the screening are the director Milan Černák and the editor of this film, his wife, Margita Černáková.

To mark the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, the Mechanism for International Criminal Tribunals (Mechanism or MICT) today released a video entitled “Preserving History as it Happens: An Introduction to the Audiovisual Archives of the International Criminal Tribunals” in French, Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian and Kinyarwanda.

The informational video provides an overview of the unique and diverse collection of audiovisual records contained in the Mechanism’s archives, which originate from the work of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) and the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and which are now in the Mechanism’s custody. The video also provides information on how to access these and other archival materials.

The commemoration of the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage was approved by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 2005 to raise awareness about the importance of the preservation of audiovisual heritage and its long-term accessibility, as well as to showcase the work of institutions that contribute to safeguarding, preserving, and ensuring the accessibility of audiovisual material.

As part of its mandate, the Mechanism is responsible for preserving the archives of the ICTR, the ICTY and the Mechanism in accordance with the highest international standards, and for ensuring that the archives remain accessible to future generations.

Celebration of The World Day for Audiovisual Heritage at the Film Archives of the National Archives of Estonia is launched with the opening of a temporary exhibition on recently found materials of "Must teemant" - one of Estonia's first artistic dramas from 1923. The print is not preserved, thus the recently found intertitles and photos are the only visual and substant information on the film.

In addition to the opening of the exhibition there are various other activities such as tours to the vaults and hidden corners of the film archives, workshops, film quiz, non-stop film programme and an exhibition on rare records from Australia.

The Encyclopaedia Cinematographica (EC) which is celebrating its 65th birthday these days was intended to be a cinematic encyclopedia in which each entry consisted of a monothematic film on a given keyword (e. g. elephant walking). The title of the first EC-film with the IWF signature E1, is "Elephas maximus - Walking". The simplicity of the idea amazes and fascinates the viewer at the same time. Many of the EC-Films are ethnological films. Those are among the 2000 ehnological videos that will be digitized by TIB in the DELFT-project.

Save Our Film is a film preservation advocacy initiative by the Asian Film Archive (AFA). Relaunched in 2016, Save Our Film seeks to address the new challenges of preserving digital materials in addition to that of analogue materials like films and tapes. Saving our film allows future generations to continue enjoying Asia’s cinematic gems and heritage. For the 2017 edition, we invited a few film practitioners from Southeast Asia to come together and talk about why we need to #SaveOurFilm!

Test pressings are rare artefacts, produced in small quantities of a handful per recording, to check for quality of the recordings, or for a record company to select which recordings to issue for commercial release. There are 84 test pressings in the National Archives of Singapore’s (NAS) collection.

In celebration of UNESCO’s World Day for Audiovisual Heritage on 27 October, NAS will be releasing a series of test pressings under ‘Sounds of Yesteryear’, an ongoing initiative to stream online one newly digitised pre-World War II recording every week throughout 2017.

The majority of these recordings were created in late 1941 and intended for release under the Extra Record label. However, the Japanese invasion of Singapore a few months later put a halt to commercial record activity, and the recordings were never released. These are the only surviving copies. By digitising and streaming these recordings online, NAS aims to highlight the importance of audiovisual preservation in keeping this unique part of Singapore’s music history alive.

This year, as part of our celebrations of the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, we organized a symposium on the restoration and preservation of films in and from Asia under the umbrella of Restoration Asia.

Restoration Asia IV was coordinated by Adrian Wood, and was held on September 23rd and 24th in Fukuoka, Japan. The event was co-hosted with the Focus on Asia Fukuoka International Film Festival and the Japan Foundation Asia Center with the endorsement of SEAPAVAA and FIAF.

Archivists, researchers, students and professionals as well as those with a shared passion for the preservation and restoration of Asian cinema joined this event from ten countries.  Our guest speakers shared the current state of restoration and preservation of films in their own countries along with specific examples and sought for the prospects of film preservation in the future of Asia. 

As well as a ‘backyard tour’ of the Archive, the event included the screenings of a restored Thai film “Santi-Vina” (1954) and “I 26 martiri del Giappone” (1931) originally produced in Japan and restored last year in Italy.

This resource is the result of the digitization and online publication of part of the bibliography about Photography Technique that belongs to the specialized library of the Girona Municipal Archive and the one from the Institut d'Estudis Fotogràfics de Catalunya. Both collections have a great utility for the research on the evolution of the photographic techniques. The digitisation and online publication aims to offer to researchers some relevant publications. This collection has been acquired over the years and it it has nowadays a very outstanding value.

UNESCO and the French National Audiovisual Institute (INA) concluded a partnership agreement in 2015. As a result, INA has digitized 70 hours of UNESCO's audiovisual collections, including films, videos and audio recordings. During this event, the results will be presented and examples of digitized material will be shown.
This event is part of the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, which this year has the theme "Discover, Remember and Share".

Newly DISCOVERED footage of INGRID whose work we all REMEMBER. 

Danish dokumentarian METTE MÆRSK will be taking part of the worldwide celebrations by SHARING these clips.

METTE MÆRSK has a long been working with archive material and with found footage.

Brought from the private sphere to the public gaze. 

The practice is not just about a restorative vision of history, but rather,

about how we are all participants in creating and, in the end, receiving, the world around us.

A new audiovisual product created in order to better understand the technical procedure of formation of the gravure on copper plate from the original technique of Talbot-Klic (1879). This audiovisual, created using 3D animation techniques, is the fifth proposal of a series dedicated to the evolution of the photographic technique and photomechanical procedures that started in 2007.The script is done by the professor Carles Mitjà and the project execution is assumed by the CIFOG (Escola de Cicles Formatius de Girona). This audiovisual, unique in its presentation, has a clear dissemination function and, unlike the theoretical texts, allows the viewer to get a clear idea of this photomechanical procedure.

Sharing the film of the construction of the Hydro System Danube-Tisa-Danube which represents the multi-functional water management system for the complex arrangement of waters in the area of Vojvodina.

The DTD Canal System with its fourteen canals of 694km total lenght changed the geographical, economic and social picture of Vojvodina region in Serbia and set the favorable conditions for socio-economic development.

DTD hydrosystem comprises the total 47 structures such as: 16 locks, 26 weirs and sluices and 5 big pumping stations. The largest structure is the dam on the river Tisa near Novi Bečej.

Water for the  DTD Canal System is taken from the river Danube and the river Tisa by free flow and also through pumping stations. Water taken together with the accepted internal waters of their basin is ditributed by regulating weirs and sluices according to the users needs.

The system serves for: drainage, flood protection, water supply for agriculture and industry, discharge of waste water, navigation, tourism and recreational activities.

After fourty years of his completeness the DTD Canal System fulfills drainage and flood protection functions entirely.

This year (2017) we celebrate the 50th anniversary of "Folk Song Collecting Movement" (the movement has long been regarded as the catalyst of Taiwanization in music) and 15th anniversary of Taiwan Music Institute (the most important archive to preserve Taiwan music).

To celebrate UNESCO’s World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, the Archives of African American Music and Culture invites you to "Discover, Remember and Share" the 1970s radio series, "The Afro-American in Indiana." The recently discovered broadcast master tapes were digitized through IU’s Media Digitization and Preservation Initiative.  All of the programs have been uploaded to IU’s Media Collections Online streaming site where they are now publicly available for the first time since they aired forty years ago.

"The Afro-American in Indiana" was produced by Fr. Boniface Hardin, the first African American priest of Holy Angels Parish in Indianapolis and founder of Martin University. The weekly radio program focused on the local experiences of African Americans, reaching back to the beginnings of statehood. Topics include slavery, the Civil War and Reconstruction Era, WWI, WWII, segregation, the State of Indiana and U.S. Constitutions, historiography, sports, music, education, religion, the NAACP, medicine, law, black businesses, prison, and labor history.

Поштоване колеге,

Поводом Светског дана аудиовизуелног наслеђа, који се обележава сваког 27. октобра на иницијативу УНЕСКО од 2006. године, Музиколошки институт САНУ отвара по први пут врата за вођену посету шире стручне јавности свом фоноархивском фонду. Чување историјских носача звука угрожено је различитим техничким, политичким, друштвеним, финансијским и другим проблемима широм света, те се све више архива прикључује обележавању овог Дана активностима које указују на осетљивост аудиовизуелног наслеђа и значај институција које настоје да га заштите. Овогодишња тема манифестације „Откриј, запамти и подели” (“Discover, Remember and Share”) подстиче архиве да представе своје колекције и дигиталне снимке, као и да укажу на потребу за чувањем наслеђа.

Музиколошки институт САНУ поседује не само најстарије носаче звука на које је снимљена српска народна музика, већ и збирку неких од најважнијих документарних музичких снимака у Србији до данас. Највећи део фоноархивске грађе је дигитализован и тренутно је у процесу каталогизације. Приликом посете имаћете прилику да се упознате с различитим типовима носача звука (од воштане плоче до дигиталне картице), опремом која се користи за снимање и дигитализацију звука, па и с врстама садржаја који се налазе на снимцима у институтском фонду. Посету ће водити научни сарадник др Марија Думнић, етномузиколог, која је снимала на терену и радила је на дигитализацији и каталогизацији садржаја магнетофонских трака. Осим у сферама етномузикологије и студија популарне музике, она је активна и при Међународној асоцијацији звучних и аудиовизуелних архива (IASA).

У петак 27. октобра 2017. у получасовним терминима од 12 до 15 часова заинтересованима у групама до 5 особа биће представљена фоноархивска збирка и опрема. Молимо Вас да своју посету најавите електронском поштом на адресу music_inst@sanu.ac.rs тако што ћете до четвртка послати име и презиме и термин за који сте заинтересовани.

Срдачано,

Музиколошки институт САНУ

Cineteca de la Universidad de Chile tiene el agrado de invitar a usted a la conmemoración del Día Mundial del Patrimonio Audiovisual 2017. Para la oportunidad se exhibirá, como estreno exclusivo en Santiago, la versión restaurada de la película "Sueño de Amor" (José Bohr, 1935), el registro audiovisual más antiguo que se conserva del maestro Claudio Arrau, Premio Nacional de Arte 1983.

La restauración de la película "Sueño de Amor" ha sido realizada por la Cineteca de la Universidad de Chile, perteneciente al Instituto de la Comunicación e Imagen (ICEI), conjuntamente con la Filmoteca de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, y con el financiamiento del Consejo Nacional de la Cultura y las Artes por medio del Programa de Apoyo al Resguardo del Patrimonio Audiovisual, modalidad Restauración del Patrimonio, además de la colaboración de la Facultad de Artes de la Universidad de Chile.

La actividad se realizará el día Jueves 26 de Octubre a las 18:30 hrs. en el Auditorium Jorge Müller del Instituto de la Comunicación e Imagen (ICEI), ubicado en el Campus Juan Gómez Millas de la Universidad de Chile: Ignacio Carrera Pinto #1045, Ñuñoa (a pasos de las calles José Pedro Alessandri y Grecia, también ingreso por calle Las Palmeras).

31 de Octubre, 50 AÑOS DEL FESTIVAL DE NUEVO CINE LATINOAMERICANO DE VIÑA DEL MAR

Estreno "Solo" (Versión restaurada)
Aldo Francia, 1967, 11 minutos
Material encontrado correspondiente a la película “Solo” dirigida por Aldo Francia y nunca terminada, narra la historia de un sujeto que recorre las calles y cerros de Valparaíso. Es un antecedente directo de la película “Valparaíso, Mi amor” que estrenaría dos años después.

Considerado un hito dentro del cine latinoamericano, los Festivales de Cine de Viña del año 1967 y 1969 marcaron la producción del cine moderno en la región, relevando la obra de autores clave como Glauber Rocha, Miguel Littín, Jorge Sanjinez, Raúl Ruiz, Pino Solanas, Octavio Gettino, Mario Handler, entre muchos otros. Un episodio desconocido corresponde al rol que tuvo la Universidad de Chile en el apoyo a la realización de estos certámenes, por tanto la muestra busca recuperar esta historia de actores culturales que contribuyeron a resignificar la historia del cine nacional.

El Archivo General de la Nación realiza el viernes 27 de octubre la Segunda Jornada de concientización sobre el valor del Documento Audiovisual. La capacitación es abierta y gratuita, orientada a la importancia de la producción audiovisual y su conservación histórica, titulada “Historia, Memoria y Derecho”. El seminario comienza a las 9 en el Salón Auditorio del AGN, Av. Leandro N. Alem 246, y se acreditarán puntos de INAP.
Los documentos audiovisuales, tales como las películas, los programas radiales y televisivos, las grabaciones sonoras y de vídeo, contienen los registros principales de los siglos XX y XXI. Por su capacidad de trascender las fronteras lingüísticas y culturales, atraer inmediatamente la vista y el oído, a las personas alfabetizadas y a las analfabetas, los documentos audiovisuales han transformado la sociedad al convertirse en un complemento permanente de los registros escritos tradicionales. Sin embargo, son extremadamente delicados y gran parte del patrimonio audiovisual del mundo ya se ha perdido irremediablemente a causa de la negligencia, la destrucción, el deterioro y la falta de recursos, competencias y estructuras, empobreciendo de esta forma la memoria de la humanidad. En este contexto, la Conferencia General aprobó en 2005 la conmemoración de un Día Mundial del Patrimonio Audiovisual como mecanismo para concienciar a todo el público sobre la necesidad de tomar medidas urgentes y reconocer la importancia de los documentos audiovisuales como parte integrante de la identidad nacional.

Es por esto que el Departamento de Documentos de Cine, Audio y Video invita a participar de este encuentro a quienes se abocan a tareas de comunicación institucional, producción de contenidos audiovisuales, archivos y público en general. En esta ocasión, se desarrollarán diversas actividades que iniciarán con las palabras del Director del Archivo General de la Nación Emilio Perina.

Además, escucharemos las palabras de Mariana Avramo, responsable del área audiovisual del Archivo General, entre otros profesionales de la archivística. En la primera mesa, contaremos con la presencia del documentalista Marcelo Goyeneche, el filósofo Gustavo Varela y los investigadores Ángeles Ceruti y Roberto Martínez.

En la segunda mesa de debate, participan el Archivo Nacional de la Memoria, Florencia Gear y Lucia Albizuri de la Secretaría de Patrimonio Cultural y Alejandro Javier Nigri de la Universidad Nacional de La Plata. Por la tarde, se brindarán talleres teóricos prácticos previa inscripción.

******************************

Proyección del documental  "Canto a dos Pueblos",  y conversación con su director, Carlos Freer, sobre el inicio de su carrera como cineasta. El señor Freer produjo este documental con el fin de dejar registrada una memoria audiovisual de los pueblos de Arenal y Tronadora, hoy desaparecidos bajo las aguas del lago de Arenal. 

La actividad se efectuará a las 10 a.m. del 27 de octubre, en el Archivo Nacional de Costa Rica. 

Por primera vez el Archivo Nacional celebra esta fecha. La actividad es abierta a todo público. 

Az OSA az audiovizuális örökség világnapja alkalmából filmarchiválási előadást és vetítést rendez, ahol egy Budapesten kallódó filmgyűjtemény sorsát és feldolgozását mutatjuk be.
A rendszerváltást követően a Szovjet Tudomány és Kultúra Háza mozijában rekedt 110 propagandafilm, amit Geréb Anna filmtörténész mentett meg az enyészettől. Az OSA Archívum 2016-ban digitalizálta, feldolgozta a filmeket, majd elérhetővé is tette az interneten.

A filmek zöme az 1970-es és 80-as években készült. Ezek a történelem és a tudomány szovjet propagandaverzióját sulykolják: a Szovjetunió maga a földi Kánaán. A filmek a legsablonosabb propaganda narráció mellett az avantgárd és az újhullám formanyelvét használják.

Hogyan és mit látott és láttatott a brezsnyevi években egy szovjet filmkészítő? És mit hallgatott el? Az Amikor Gagarin még iskolába járt című rendezvényen egy eddig kevéssé ismert filmgyűjteményt tár a közönség elé az OSA két munkatársa, Zádori Zsuzsa és Oksana Sarkisova. Hogyan vált a 16 mm-es celluloid filmekből online video gyűjtemény? Kik is ezek a mesterek, a politikai rezsimet kiszolgáló filmesek, és mitől nézhetőek mégis ezek a propagandafilmek?

És kik néztek önként szovjet filmet, pláne propagandafilmet, amikor a pesti Gorkij, a szovjet filmek mozija ásított az ürességtől, s 1973-tól ment a Vígszínházban a Popfesztivál musical változata; Illés, Omega, Piramis, Cseh Tamás, Kex, Syrius, na meg Beatrice koncerteken tombolt az ifjúság? Godard, Antonioni és Ridley Scott filmjeit játszották a mozik! Hogyan nézett ki a Szovjet Kultúra Háza, milyen volt egy vetítés hangulata? Vendégünk Geréb Anna filmtörténész, a gyűjtemény létrehozója és megmentője.

FILMVETÍTÉS 16 MM-ES FILMRŐL:

Amikor Gagarin még iskolába járt (szovjet, 1983, színes, magyar hang, 27’)
A 2. világháborús pusztítást követően a Szovjetuniió „főnixmadárként támadt fel. Beköszöntött a béke és jólét kora.” A film a szovjet valóság helyett a vágyálmokat mutatja. A terrort, a pangást, a nyomort, a társbérletek világát, az alkoholizmust és a kényszermunkatáborok valóságát a filmben ne keressük.

Hazám a szeretet varázslatos földje (szovjet, 1981, f/f, magyar hang, 30’)
A „szovjet hétköznapok békés és harmonikus világát” mutatja be a film. Itt, a filmkockákon virágzik a mezőgazdaság, az ipari termelés, a sport és a művészetek. Az egyéni és közösségi fejlődést, na meg a szerelmet támogatja és táplálja a dicsőséges Szovjetunió.

Feldolgozás: Yulia Karpova, Oksana Sarkisova, Zádori Zsuzsanna

Ez a bemutató az OSA Archívum audiovizuális gyűjtési akciójának meghirdetése is egyben. Célunk a hidegháború és a létező szocializmus még kallódó amatőr filmjeinek, videóinak és hanganyagainak felgyűjtése, megőrzése, digitalizálása és szakszerű kutathatóvá tétele. Szeretnénk elérni, hogy a fölöslegessé váló mozgókép és hangfelvétel ne a szemétben végezzék, hanem kortörténeti dokumentumként új otthonra találjanak egy kutatható gyűjteményben.

Az OSA Archívum e rendezvénnyel is fel szeretné hívni a figyelmet a szigorú szakmai archiválás és gyűjteménymegóvás fontosságára. Egyben arra is, hogy ez csak fél munka, amennyiben ezt nem követi a megosztás, hozzáférhetővé tétel. Az OSA ezzel az immár online is elérhető szovjet propagandafilm gyűjteménnyel a közpénzből készült filmek, videók és hangfelvételek közösségi megosztásának fontosságára, ingyenes kutathatóságára hívja fel a figyelmet.
A 16 mm-es celluloid filmtekercseket kézbe lehet venni, kesztyűt az OSA ad!

This year Kinoteka na Makedonija decided to focus on the future film professionals and to apply the Discover, Remember and Share theme as a strategy to raise their awareness for the importance of archiving and safeguarding their audiovisual works. The idea is to have an open-house day for the film students who will learn firsthand where their works are archived and safeguarded, what are the advantages of depositing their works in a film archive and how is this audiovisual material later shared, discovered and re-discovered by new audience.

Couple of year ago on a panel discussion about the necessity and the growing costs of safeguarding the AV heritage, organized on the occasion for the UNESCO’s World Day of Audiovisual Heritage, the participants agreed that a worrying number of film professionals are not aware of the challenges of archiving the film materials and are not considering the future of their works. This category especially includes the younger generations of filmmakers who grew up in fast-paced world where it is difficult to anticipate the future of one’s audiovisual work once it is released.

The open-house day will foster communication between the film students, our future clients, and the Kinoteka personnel, and introduce the goals, activities, projects and programmes of a film archive dedicated to preserving and safeguarding of the audiovisual heritage for future generations.

As part of World Day for Audiovisual Heritage 'Ulu'ulu would like to share our archival film screening "Documenting Activism: The Early Days of the Native Hawaiian Movement" on November 5th at the Hawai'i International Film Festival, a partnership we have maintained since 2013. HIFF is unique in discovering features, documentaries and shorts from Asia made by Asians, films about the Pacific made by Pacific Islanders, and films made by Hawai'i filmmakers that present Hawai'i in a culturally accurate way (HIFF).

'Ulu'ulu preserves the moving image history of Hawai'i to honor the past and ensure its availability for future generations. This year we honor those who courageously documented the early days of the Native Hawaiian movement while recognizing how these images are being used today. We will screen a segment of the documentary "Mo'olelo o ka 'Aina" (1984), produced by KITV, followed by newly preserved raw archival footage from the Protect Kaho'olawe 'Ohana collection.

The Protect Kaho'olawe 'Ohana was a grassroots organization founded four decades ago that brought attention to the island of Kaho'olawe and its importance as a site for Hawaiian traditions. The group fought for the respect of the land and it continues today as an example of Aloha 'Aina.

After the archival film screening there will be a panel discussion with the filmmakers who captured the early movement and discuss how the footage has impacted the next generation of documentarians and activists.

Panelists: Kevin Coates (filmmaker), Stephen Morse (filmmaker), Joan Lander (filmmaker), Matt Yamashita (filmmaker), Janel Quirante (Head Archivist, 'Ulu'ulu)

La Cineteca Nacional de México abrió sus puertas en enero de 1974 como la institución encargada de preservar el patrimonio cultural cinematográfico del país. En 2011 dio inicio a un ambicioso proyecto de remodelación y ampliación de sus instalaciones, que incluyó la construcción de un laboratorio de restauración digital, con tecnología de punta, gracias al cual podemos ahora descubrir, recordar y compartir las joyas de nuestro acervo.
Para esta edición del Día Mundial del Patrimonio Audiovisual se han seleccionado cortos de 1931 a 1985 que narran diversos momentos de la vida en México. La proyección digital inicia con un curioso corto a todo color de 1942: Extravaganza mexicana del pintor jalisciense Juan José Segura. Realizada dos años antes de Los tres caballeros de Walt Disney y cuyos colores se asemejan entre sí.
Los Hnos. Rodríguez presentan, es un corto sonoro de 1931 en el que los Rodríguez hicieron gala de su novedoso invento entrevistando en vivo a estrellas mexicanas como Dolores del Río en el marco del Gran Festival de Caridad de Los Ángeles.
El noticiero Información Gráfica No. 1, de Gregorio Castillo (1937), muestra al presidente Lázaro Cárdenas recorriendo el país, en tren, en auto y a caballo, además de ciertos aspectos de la vida en México como la elección de “La Flor más bella del Ejido” en Santa Anita, o la visita a México del presidente de Filipinas el Dr. Quezón.
Otros cortos que forman parte de la muestra son: Pátzcuaro. Lago de ensueño, de Ezequiel Carrasco (1935) que nos remite a un mundo hoy perdido: el de ese tranquilo lago antes del boom turístico. Iztaccihuatl (filmado en los años 40) proveniente del acervo del Club de Exploraciones de México. Y, [Cordelería San Juan], de 1953, un ejemplo de los cortometrajes publicitarios de la iniciativa privada, que nos muestra el funcionamiento de una empresa henequera en Yucatán.
Y, para cerrar, el Compendio cinematográfico (1985), un recorrido nostálgico por el proceso para hacer cine cuando la película era analógica y las salas tenían enormes proyectores. Un viaje por los oficios, equipos y técnicas que eran necesarios para hacer un filme, desde la idea hasta su proyección comercial.

Entrada libre con cortesías en taquillas

He invents the boy's life story, but the other children get suspicious.

The festival Film:ReStored will present digitally restored films from seven decades of German film history. The screenings will be accompanied by a conference including presentations and workshops which will focus on preserving film heritage in the digital era. On October 27 - the UNESCO-worldday for audiovisual heritage -  the Association of German Cinematheques will award a prize to cinemas who have been dedicated to programming heritage films and thus keeping film history alive.

On 27 October 2017 the Danish Film Institute launches a new version of the online platform Denmark on Film.

This year, EYE Filmmuseum will hold open days at the EYE Collection Center to the public on the 27th and 28th of October. These two dates mark the celebration of two yearly international archival events: The UNESCO World Day of Audiovisual Heritage (WDAH) and the Home Movie Day, and they also coincide with the local initiative of 24HNoord.

24H Noord is organized by Amsterdam Marketing involving circa forty locations in Amsterdam North, opening their doors to the public. The Home Movie Day is the yearly event celebrating amateur films around the globe. The World Day of Audiovisual Heritage is celebrated every year on the 27th of October and is the official date recognized by the UNESCO to draw attention to the vulnerability of the audiovisual materials.

The motto of the World Day of Audiovisual Heritage this year is: ‘Discover, Remember and Share’. The public is invited to the EYE Collection Centre, to discover how the historical audiovisual material is preserved and made available by the specialists.
As in the past years, there will be a special focus on the historical film machines, this year particularly on amateur equipment and lesser known formats, in conjunction with the Hoe Movie Day. EYE will exhibit some special specimen from the collection, while film collector Gé Aarts will also exhibit and demonstrate some unique machines from his private collection.

The open days provide an opportunity to see and find out more about: acclimatized film depots and their management, scanning, digital formats, restoration and repair of distinct types of damage and color to the film stock, conservation of the paper materials such as posters and stills, unusual and obsolete cinema equipment, etc. It is also possible to have a guided tour about the EYE study, the biggest and most professionally specialized Dutch library on cinema. EYE’s specialists and curators will be present to tell about their work and answer questions.
On Oct, 28th, there will be two additional events related to the Home Movie Day; a celebration of the 95 years of 9,5mm stock and a screening of home movies, in collaboration with the Stichting Amateurfilm and the Dutch Institute for Sound and Vision.

Please note that the activities are free of charge and open to all. Reservation is not required.
The doors are open on Friday 12.30 to 16.30, and on Saturday 11.00 tot 15.00

Au programme de la Journée mondiale du patrimoine audiovisuel le 27 octobre : La Mort de Mario Ricci de Claude Goretta à 15h. Puis, à 18h30, une série de sujets extraits du Pathé-Revue, un magazine composé de courts sujets documentaires acquis dans le cadre d’un échange avec la Cinémathèque de Toulouse. Cet ensemble est complété par deux films de commande, tournés par des firmes locales dans les années 1930, ainsi que d’un court sujet d’actualité plus folklorique. Et enfin, à 21h, Une femme disparaît de Jacques Feyder. Les séances de cette journée sont présentées par Pierre-Emmanuel Jaques, historien du cinéma, et Carole Delessert, restauratrice à la Cinémathèque suisse.

For ten years Stirling University Retired Staff Association (SURSA) has been recording audio and video interviews with those who were there from the beginning; a long-term activity which will continue into the future. New university staff, students and their parents probably don’t spend much time imagining what the Stirling campus was like when the first building, Pathfoot, was a huge hole in the ground but Graham Stewart, the well-known Dunblane silversmith, cycled out as a boy with his friends at night to walk the plank placed over it. For Graham and his friends, it was exciting and challenging, like the academic and architectural plans which were developed for this, the only new university in Scotland.
Sir Tam Dalyell’s tale of the choice of Stirling rather than three other competing places as the site of the new university is characteristically witty. The first deputy principal, Fred Holliday, tells us how Stirling broke the mould by admitting students not to a faculty but to the university enabling students to cross academic boundaries. Matilda Mitchell, the first Principal’s PA and the first full-time employee, describes her unorthodox interview and appointment. Peter McEwen, the founding professor of psychology, remembers how he gave the very first lecture.
There are interviews with staff who made this fledgling community work – with administrators, librarians, technicians, cleaners, porters, the first director of the Macrobert Arts Centre and the instructors in the Gannochy Sports Centre. There are also interviews with students old and new, including the initial intake of 1967 and student presidents like Lord Jack McConnell, later First Minister of Scotland. Many were attracted to come to an untried institution by the beauty of the campus, some by the innovative academic structure, and some by the fact that the university was new and that they would be pioneers. The interviews record self-discovery and academic engagement as well as some frustrations and disappointments.
There are lots of interviews about more recent life in the university too – they are all accessible on the SURSA Oral History website at: http://www.oralhistory.stir.ac.uk On visiting the site you will find photographs of the speakers, summaries of what their interviews cover, and video clips of staff and students as well as memorabilia. You can search for particular names or events. The launch is a new beginning at the end of the University’s 50th anniversary, taking the past into the future.

The South African Govt (Government Communication Information System) Audio Visual Forum (AVF) will be celebrating the World Day for Audio Visual Heritage on the actual day, Friday 27 October. The AVF consist of all Govt videographers & photographers. It so happened that our last AVF meeting of the year coincided with this historic day.  As the AVF Chair person I decided to place the focus for the day on the importance of archiving. I therefore invited a member of the International Audio Visual and Sound Archives (IASA), Ilse Assmann, to come and address the meeting. I have also invited service providers and suppliers to showcase archiving equipment and systems. Let us continue to discover, remember & share aour audio visual archives.

Under the slogan "Discover, remember and share" Come and celebrate the World Day of Audiovisual Heritage of UNESCO in Argentina! This event will have thematic panels and presentations by important institutions and professionals of the cinematographic work and especially of the field of audiovisual preservation. We will remember Salvador Sammaritano, an important personality of Argentine cinema having contributed with the audiovisual heritage of our country, who will be remembered with a tribute.

Organized by CINAIN, INCAA and the Ministry of Culture, this event is free and open to the public.

Coinciding with the international seminar Stories (and Aesthetics) About Anonymous and Orphan Cinema, Elías Querejeta Zine Eskola will open up the central warehouse of its facilities and give it the form of a gallery or audiovisual exhibition hall to host an anthological exhibition of anonymous, orphan and amateur films throughout the history of cinema.

The concept of orphan films acquired an academic and creative entity in the 1990s from new approaches to managing film archives. At that time, orphan films simply identified films without copyright or abandoned by their owners or custodians. However, the term gradually widened to include any kind of footage which has been abandoned, found or forgotten for commercial, material, cultural, political and historical reasons:  material in the public domain, home movies, film out-takes, unreleased films, industrial and educational films, clandestine work, ethnographic films, newsreels, censored material, unfinished pieces, fragments of productions from the silent era, archival material, reels found, medical films, short or unusual format films, advertisements, sponsored films, student work and any other ephemeral piece of celluloid. Rick Prelinger, founder of the online Prelinger Archives, understands orphan films as “films that do not have any controlling and censoring parents”, films that are “free to go home when they like without asking permission”, films from which “to rethink many of the unquestioned concepts of film history”.

The Anonymous Cinema exhibition covers all of the different meanings of orphan films: small fragments of films of great interest in the history of cinema (such as material by Edison or American Vitagraph), amateur works with artistic pretensions (such as those made within the Amateur Cinema League in the 30s), film collectibles (such as programmes on the First World War for Pathé Baby), bourgeois-home films made in the heart of the Soviet Union, forgotten practices of the first women enrolled in the Institute of Cinematographic Research and Experimentation in Madrid in the 50s, interventions by artists from found footage (such as the work of Rebeca Baron, Goug Goodwin and Jen Proctor) and the endless stream of material on YouTube.

The programmes that make up this “exhibition of films” are curated by Guy Edmonds, Sonia García López, Clara Sánchez Dehesa, Mirco Santi, Dan Streible, Mark Toscano and Maria Vinogradova and bring together more than 30 films or fragments of orphan films in a time span ranging from 1894 to the current day. The central space of the exhibition will also be occupied by a selection from the long tradition of Basque amateur film.

Based around the idea of anonymity and the exploration of film archives from this point of view, Elías Querejeta Zine Eskola has convened an international seminar on October 26, 27 and 28 on the amateur cinema, films “without names” and the concept of authorship entitled Stories (and aesthetics) About Anonymous and Orphan Cinema.

The three-day seminar, which is open to the general public, will bring together renowned specialists, curators, visual artists, filmmakers and academics working on orphan films and secrets of the archives.The sessions programmed, which include three screenings in collaboration with the Basque Film Archive and the Film and Audiovisual department of the Tabakalera ​​cultural project, are designed as mixed sessions.

This past summer, the Ryerson Library Archives and Special Collections department received a generous donation of magic lantern slides and projectors from John Tysall. These 19th-century projectors were the entertainment du jour for children and adults, right up until the mid 20th century. To mark the UNESCO World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, Archives and Special Collections will be opening an exhibition of the collection on October 27th and organizing a series of events to share highlights from the collection, invite the public to experience lantern slide shows and discover the history of this pre-cinematic technology. 

27 October is accepted as the World Day of AV Heritage by Unesco.
Audio-visual recordings, films, radio and television programs, advertisements as the audio-visual heritage materials belong to the cultural heritage.The preservation of the audio-visual products, works and materials for the future is cruical as they belong to the knowledge and culture accumulation and help to raise awareness in this perspective.
As Turkish National Commission for Unesco we planned a three days event including a conference and film screenings between 17-19 October 2017 at Kadir Has University, Istanbul in cooperation with Istituto Italiano di Cultura, Istanbul and supported by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
Academics, scholars and experts working on the subject of audio-visual heritage and its preservation from Turkey, Serbia, Romania, Italy and England are participating in the conference to share their knowledge and experience. The conference and film screenings are open to students, academics and researchers. The end session of the conference will provide a forum to discuss the topics of the audio-visual heritage and its preservation among the participants and with the audience.
The conference proceedings will be published.

Come celebrate UNESCO’s annual World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, as we recognize the importance of preserving moving images in all forms! This event will showcase several 16mm short films from the NYPL Reserve Film and Video Collection that embody this year’s theme, “Discover, Remember and Share.”

Coordinated by the NYU Association of Moving Image Archivists (AMIA) Student Chapter, this event is free and open to the public.

Although digitally-produced films dominate cinema programs, some filmmakers prefer to shoot on analog film stock. Their work gives rise to new, hybrid forms of expression which defy conventional categorization, and at the same time opens up new ways of perceiving film in cinemas.

In the context of the annual UNESCO World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, Filmmuseum Potsdam in cooperation with the Film University Babelsberg KONRAD WOLF's “Film Heritage” M.A. program will present two films situated between the poles of analog and digital film.

BLACK by Belgian artist Anouk de Clercq is pure cinematic experience: Darkness, light and a story on 35mm. “Dust and scratches will dance in the dark”, the film announces to its audience. Every screening of BLACK is unique: the analog film strip bears the traces of all its former screenings.

Bernd Lützeler's film CAMERA THREAT on the other hand features a variety of formats from digital video through Super-8 right up to 35mm. Dual projection is used to present images not only in succession but side-by-side, superimposed and disordered. In this way, Lützeler explores the relationship between the Indian film industry and its own visual cosmos. The distinctions between all these different formats become apparent not only in their visual aesthetics but also in how the choice of format determines certain methods of filmmaking.

On October 27, both analog and digital film projectors will run simultaneously for the first time at Filmmuseum Potsdam. The filmmakers Anouk de Clercq and Bernd Lützeler will be present for the screenings and will talk afterwards about the significance of different film formats not only in their own respective bodies of work but also in contemporary cinema and culture in general. While digital film is an undeniable part of our current and future heritage, the event emphasizes the importance of historic practices and the use of analog material in contemporary filmmaking. Analog film is alive and continues to thrive.

The evening will be compered by Sophia Wetzke (rbb – Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg).

The UNESCO World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, held annually on October 27, is a commemoration of the adoption of the “Recommendation for the Safeguarding and Preservation of Moving Images” in 1980. Students of the Film University Babelsberg KONRAD WOLF's “Film Heritage” M.A. program have organized the 2017 Potsdam edition to highlight the importance and the plurality of audiovisual heritage.

Celebrating the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, the Cinemateca Portuguesa-Museu do Cinema proposes a special session paying homage to Jerry Lewis (1926-2017). THE FAMILY JEWELS, which will be screened in a 35 mm print, is one of the Jerry Lewis/Jerry Lewis films, thus remembering him as the «total film-maker» that he was, besides being the «total comic actor» in the lineage of Chaplin and Buster Keaton. The third and more recent retrospective dedicated by the Cinemateca to Lewis, IN 2015, was named «The disordered order». The first one dates back to the eighties; the second one, which took place in 2006, was named, precisely, «The total film-maker». The junior programme of this month includes two other films from the 50’s starring Jerry Lewis, THE SAD SACK and DON’T GIVE UP THE SHIP.

Con el propósito de celebrar el Día Mundial del Patrimonio Audiovisual, la Filmoteca de la UNAM presentará el día 27 de octubre a las 18:00 h. en la Sala Julio Bracho del Centro Cultural Universitario de la UNAM, la película silente de Gabriel García Moreno, El tren fantasma. La copia que se proyectará fue restaurada digitalmente en 2015 por la Filmoteca de la UNAM, junto con la música original del Ensamble Cine Mudo del 2015, la cual fue compuesta siguiendo la documentación y estética de jazz-band en Orizaba, Veracruz y la Ciudad de México entre 1921 y 1928, con partituras de época, referencias a música tradicional mexicana y a la música de concierto del siglo XX. Asimismo, se proyectará una cápsula sobre el proceso de restauración de la película.

Gabriel García Moreno fundó en la ciudad de Orizaba, Veracruz, El Centro Cultural Cinematográfico, empresa mediante el cual produjo, entre 1926 y 1927, tres películas de largometraje: Misterio, El tren fantasma y El puño de hierro.
Al no cubrir las expectativas de sus inversionistas, la empresa se declara en quiebra total. En ese momento García Moreno deja las películas en manos del señor William Mayer, tesorero del Centro Cultural Cinematográfico, quien tuvo el acierto de resguardarlas en sus oficinas durante muchos años.
El historiador Aurelio de los Reyes, siendo un joven de 15 de edad, trabajaba como ayudante en el negocio de tabaco de la familia Mayer, pegando sobres de correspondencia con un pegamento hecho de una mezcla de pedazos de película cinematográfica con acetona. Sin embargo, logró percatarse de la importancia de resguardar las latas de las películas El tren fantasma y El puño de hierro, evitando la desaparición de estos títulos.
Hacia la década de los años 60’s, Aurelio de los Reyes hace las gestiones necesarias para que la familia Mayer entregara estos títulos al Mtro. Manuel González Casanova, fundador de la Filmoteca de la UNAM
La historiadora Esperanza Vázquez, al investigar la historia de El tren fantasma, logra ubicar la sinopsis de la película en el Archivo General de la Nación, en donde fue depositada para registro de la obra en 1927. A partir de este suceso, se plantea el darle una coherencia a los rollos existentes.
El tren fantasma se filmó en los exteriores de la ciudad de Orizaba, Veracruz de los años 20, a la manera de los thrillers americanos de la época; desarrolla su historia con una técnica sobresaliente para ese tiempo, utilizando como actores a gente de la alta sociedad de Orizaba. Exhibe imágenes del tren eléctrico con el que se cruzaba desde Esperanza, en Puebla, hasta la entrada al estado de Veracruz, en Maltrata.

On October 27th, the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage will draw attention to the unique value of Audiovisual Documents for the collective memory. Memoriav & the Swiss Commission for UNESCO are coordinating the projects of all Swiss institutions that put their audiovisual archives in the spotlight at this time. Discover the events, planned in Switzerland around this date http://memoriav.ch/wdavh2017/?lang=it 

The British Library launches a new free exhibition in October “Listen: 140 Years of Recorded Sound” explaining the importance of recorded sound since the phonograph was invented in 1877.

Visitors can: step into listening booths to hear an eclectic mix of sounds from the archive including many rare and unpublished recordings, including a signed disc of James Joyce’s reading of Ulysses alongside a complete set of playable stamps issued in Bhutan; meet 16-year-old Alfred Taylor, whose ‘Wireless Log’ from 1922 can be compared to a modern-day vlog; view items from our rarely-seen collection of players and recorders; immerse in our specially-commissioned audio installation by composer Aleks Kolkowski. And follow our timeline to learn more about key moments in the history of recorded sound. We tell a story of sound recording and explore the importance of sound in capturing history, how radio transformed society in the 20th century and how the way we listen has changed as new technologies have emerged and old ones become obselete.
https://www.bl.uk/events/listen 140 years of recorded sound 

The exhibition is part of a major British Library programme, Save Our Sounds, which will digitise the Library’s sound archive and store the sounds safely so that they can be accessed forever. https://www.bl.uk/projects/save-our-sounds

Accompanying the exhibition, which runs until 11 March 2018, is a Season of Sound, https://www.bl.uk/news/2017/october/season-of-sound-now-open .

Filmoteca de Catalunya presents in collaboration with Victor Erice and CAMM CINCO S.L.  "El sol del membrillo", a project that started being a high quality digitalization and ended being considerated a restoration. The result was presented in the "Cannes Classiques" session of the french contest.

The film talks about light and time, for us a metaphor of what we do with films to preserve them in time.
The presentation will be on Friday the 27th at 19pm by Mariona Bruzzo.

Presentation of the documentary "Carles Barba, el cineasta" by Josep Vidal and the shortfilm "Aspectes i personatges de Barcelona", Friday the 27th at 17pm by Carles Barba himself and Mariona Bruzzo.

A tribute to Carles Barba, author of an entire patrimonial legacy about the catalan society and its contrasts.
And not only a tribute; a new step to let the new generations know his films and all his trajectory.

In celebration of World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, we present a powerful documentary telling the story of the displacement of a Dublin working class community through the film and video archives of the community itself.

Drawing on hundreds of hours of local material from the past thirty years, the film explores themes of loss, community, hope and defiance as the residents of Ballymun watch their familiar landscape and way of living vanish over the course of two decades. The film shows Ballymun’s iconic high-rise landscape as a space of togetherness, hope, and community activism, but also as a site of anguish and despair.

The screening will be followed by Q&A with director Turlough Kelly and producer Andrew Keogh.

What does Chelmsford sound like? There is more to the city’s soundscape than traffic and emergency sirens. Join us on a new sound walk event. The morning will include a walk around Chelmsford, where you will learn how to make sound recordings. In the afternoon, you will learn the basics of editing sound recordings at the Essex Record Office. Price: £20

This event will encourage people to discover the diverse heritage around them through paying attention to the varied soundscapes that they encounter everyday; to share their recordings; and to promote the preservation of recordings for future generations.

Vendredi 27 octobre à 19h à la Cinémathèque des Pays de Savoie et de l’Ain, dans le cadre de la Journée Mondiale du Patrimoine audiovisuelle, et de l’exposition La machine Bolex, les horizons amateurs du cinéma, nous vous proposons une conférence unique intitulée Improvisation à la caméra et musicalités de la Bolex H 16, présentée par Vincent Sorrel de l’Université de Grenoble.

Johan Van der Keuken a utilisé la Bolex H 16 à la recherche de rythmes à la fois visuels et sonores. Alors que Paillard fabriquait des boites à musiques avant les caméras Bolex, le cinéaste savait-il que la caméra avait été conçue (en 1935) à partir des potentialités d'un instrument de musique mécanique ? Influencé par le jazz, il sculpte le temps sur des principes de coupes, variations, ruptures, saccades…). Des extraits de ses premiers films réalisés pendant les années 1960 nous permettront de voir et d'entendre mais de manière a-synchrone les analogies qu'il a faites entre la caméra et l’instrument de musique, identifiant l’improvisation comme le principal enjeu du cinéma documentaire.

Vincent Sorrel est chercheur FNS junior à l'Université de Lausanne et il enseigne la pratique du cinéma documentaire à l'Université de Grenoble-Alpes. Il a co-écrit avec Jean-Louis Comolli l'ouvrage Cinéma, mode d'emploi, paru chez Verdier en 2015.

Durée 1h environ - Entrée libre - 37 places - réservation conseillée au 04 50 23 51 09 ou à contact@letelepherique.org

La Filmoteca de València celebrates the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage with the purpose of highlighting the important work of film archives to ensure the safeguard of moving images. This year, we pay homage to Segundo de Chomón. Prominent figure of the first years of the history of cinema, he was one of the outstanding technicians of Pathé Frères. Specialist in tricks and special effects, he contributed to the consolidation of film language, linked to magic and fantasy. On 27th October we will screen a program of films directed by Segundo de Chomón and preserved by our colleagues from FILMOTECA DE CATALUNYA, who have lent us the copies for the occasion. The program, which will be screened also on 28th October, will be accompanied by live music. Free entry.

In celebration of UNESCO World Day of Audiovisual Heritage, National Film Center, The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo presents “Special Screening of Dersu Uzala: Reviving 70mm Screening.” Even though 70mm screening was popular from the 50s to the 70s, cinemas with 70mm projection no longer exist in Japan. National Film Center has arranged to inspect and to project our 70mm films and we are pleased to have the very first 70mm screening at National Film Center since our opening in 1970. Through the screening of our 70mm collection Dersu Uzala (Dir. Akira Kurosawa, 1975), we hope to share with the audience the importance of archiving film culture.

The BFI, Learning on Screen and Kingston School of Art are supporting a workshop exploring the creative reuse of archive material in higher education, in a morning session preceding the annual BFI Student Open Day. The event will launch a new scheme providing student filmmakers at UK universities with access to archive material from the BFI National Archive and will be beneficial to students and educators interested in working with archive content on course-related film and media projects.

The new scheme follows a successful pilot at Kingston University earlier this year, where 12 films from the BFI National Archive were creatively reused to inspire student video essays and short documentaries under an educational license. The pilot is discussed in a recent article in Learning on Screen’s Viewfinder magazine: http://bufvc.ac.uk/articles/opening-up-the-archives

On the occasion of the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, Cinemateket Oslo will screen three new documentaries dealing with film heritage issues and contemporary cinema culture:

CINEMA FUTURES (Michael Palm, 2016):

The “digital revolution” reached the cinema late and was chiefly styled as a technological advancement. Today, in an era where analog celluloid strips are disappearing, and given the diversity of digital moving picture formats, there is much more at stake: Are the world’s film archives on the brink of a dark age? Are we facing the massive loss of collective audiovisual memory? Is film dying, or just changing? Cinema Futures travels to international locations and, together with renowned filmmakers, museum curators, historians and engineers, dramatizes the future of film and the cinema in the age of digital moving pictures.

With Martin Scorsese, Christopher Nolan, Tacita Dean, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, David Bordwell, Tom Gunning, Jacques Rancière, Margaret Bodde, Paolo Cherchi Usai, Nicole Brenez, Michael Friend, Greg Lukow, Mike Mashon, and many others. 

DAWSON CITY (FROZEN TIME) (Bill Morrison, 2015)

"The thrilling documentary Dawson City: Frozen Time is indescribable not because it's ambiguous (it's totally straightforward) but because it does so many things so beautifully it is hard to know where to begin." - Los Angeles Times

66 KINOS (Philipp Hartmann, 2016):  

Philipp Hartmann made a film, toured the German cinema scene with it and made that into a film too: an overview of an eclectic mix of cinemas all run by cinephiles. Shared love entails shared suffering: every Kino is under threat.

Croatian State Archives/Croatian Film Archive will mark the World Day of Audiovisual Heritage 2017 in cinemas throughout Croatia by screening of the first digitally restored Croatian feature film The Birch tree.

The Birch tree was filmed 50 years ago in Draganić near Karlovac and, as part of the celebration of the world's audiovisual heritage, we will also organize an exhibition of the backing film material in Draganić elementary school. As part of the exhibition, it will be possible to listen to sound records with memories of the inhabitants of this area, that worked as extras in The Birch tree.

In co-operation with the Croatian Film Directors’ Guild, the Croatian State Archives / Croatian Film Archive is organizing the Croatian Film Heritage Conference. It will include a wide range of topics on the protection and preservation of the Croatian film heritage, its potentials for development and the European practices in this area.

We will also mark the 30th death anniversary of Oktavijan Miletić, pioneer of Croatian author's film, by an exhibition and screenings of documentary films.

Finally, we will present The FIAF Moving Image Cataloguing Manual, the first translation of a manual for processing audiovisual material into Croatian language.

Search and Discover German History – Films from the German Federal Archives

The user will be provided with the option to view and research the detailed information of more than 2,300 film works from the period 1945-1998 with a runtime of more than 500 hours. 100 hours of these are already available in HD quality.
Additionally are offered World War I Era footage from the German Federal Archives Collection as e.g. Official footage, War newsreels and War bond propaganda films.

In addition there is offered access to Federal German newsreels and works that had been commissioned by the Federal Press Office between 1945-1998. Among them are:

Newsreels (Welt im Bild, Welt im Film, Neue Deutsche Wochenschau, Die Zeit unter der Lupe, UFA-Wochenschau, El Mundo)
Deutschlandspiegel and other Federal Press Office magazines and documentaries

Within the introduction of the Filmarchives and filmothek the copyright situation and their cosequences for streaming and download will be a main topic.

In celebration of UNESCO's "World Day for Audiovisual Heritage", the Hong Kong Film Archive is presenting Stanley Kwan's Center Stage (1992), a 2K digital copy scanned from the inter-negative and sound negative loaned from Fortune Star Media Limited. About half an hour longer than the originally released version, this 155-minute director's cut will allow audiences to savour this internationally renowned work that won Maggie Cheung the first Silver Bear award for a Hong Kong actress, in all its nostalgic splendor and historic charm.

Director Stanley Kwan subverts the biopic genre with this 1990s classic, which traces legendary 1930s Chinese screen diva Ruan Lingyu's ascent to fame and her fall from grace. Featuring an elegant performance by Maggie Cheung as Ruan, the film breaks down the glossy façade to reveal the complex woman behind the screen. It's also a fascinating trip into the golden era of Shanghai's once-illustrious film industry – often compared to Hong Kong cinema's own golden era – showing some of its most prominent figures through Ruan's eyes. In a surprising dialectic twist, Kwan cuts into the film's core narrative with black-and-white interview footage of his actors speaking about their characters, real footage of Ruan's works and behind-the-scenes footage from Kwan's set. An enlightening examination of the bond between life and art, this 155-minute director's cut is a testament to Hong Kong cinema's creative power.

The luminous and photogenic film star Louise Brooks (1906-1985) has been a symbol for the preservation of film heritage for generations. Thanks to the efforts of Henri Langlois at La Cinémathèque française her classic films Die Büchse der Pandora and Tagebuch einer Verlorenen were preserved in the critical period of the 1930s and 1940s when much of the Golden Age heritage of Weimar cinema was destroyed. At George Eastman House Louise Brooks became an incarnation of the magic of the cinema. She was even buried in Rochester, and George Eastman Museum has brilliantly restored Beggars of Life, one of her finest films. Cineteca di Bologna has restored Prix de beauté, the last European film of Louise Brooks, a celebration of beauty and a meditation on its transience. Not forgetting that Brooks herself was a brilliant film historian, essayist and memoirist.

To mark UNESCO’s World Audiovisual Heritage Day, Ngā Taonga Sound & Vision have created a new compilation of recently preserved, and rarely seen films and audio recordings that tell some of Wellington’s many fascinating stories.

See the fairground rides at the Wellington Winter Show in the 1950s, take the cable car to Victoria University in the 1960s, notice the interest a visiting elephant seal generates at Oriental Bay, check out the changing fashions of Cuba Mall during the 1980s and see rare footage of inside the iconic Matterhorn café.

Content in the program ranges from amateur to professionally made film including from local film makers, Hilda Brodie-Smith, George Stucki and Cyril Townsend.

This event is part of Wellington City Heritage Week. There are over 20 community hosted events throughout the city between 23-29th October that showcase the city’s identity and culture. See more events at: wellingtoncityheritageweek.co.nz

The third annual Digital Directions symposium brings together thought leaders, policy makers and key players in the GLAM (gallery, library, archive, museum) sector to work through the big picture issues surrounding the digitisation of cultural collections.

This year we turn our focus to the users of digital collections. We ask how collecting institutions can better facilitate access to the educators, researchers and creators served by the GLAM sector. We also showcase the institutional innovators in user-centric research and design.

Delegates will hear from experts from diverse institutions such as the National Archives of Australia, the National Library of Australia, Microsoft, GovHack, DigitalNZ, the University of New South Wales, the Australian Centre for the Moving Image, the Australian Network for Art and Technology and the Strehlow Research Centre.

Program and speaker details: https://www.nfsa.gov.au/about/our-mission/digital-directions-2017

Delivered in partnership with the National Archives of Australia and the National Library of Australia.

NFSA Restores is an exciting program to digitise, restore and preserve, at the highest archival standards, classic and cult Australian films so they can be seen on the big screen in today’s digital cinemas.

CIFF is proud to present, on World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, the digital restoraion of Steve Jodrell's Shame (1988) as part of NFSA Restores. Special Festival Guests, Simone Buchanan, Steve Jodrell and Michael Brindley will be present for Q&A after the screening.

Synopsis: A motorbike-riding barrister is stranded in an outback town where she finds women being violently abused and gang-raped by men who are getting away with it, unimpeded by the local police or the town’s citizenry. Provoked by the injustice, she takes matters into her own hands. Deborra-lee Furness gives her best in a strong, provocative role. The fine screenplay by Beverly Blankenship and Michael Brindley is backed by Steve Jodrell’s high-powered direction, to transcend the action genre and deliver an iconic work of feminist cinema that has won awards and followers around the world. Excellent support comes from Simone Buchanan as a young woman who gains the courage to fight back.

As a member of FIAF (the International Federation of Film Archives), TIFF actively acquires 35mm prints in order to both preserve and present films in their original format. To mark the UNESCO World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, an annual event which aims to raise awareness of the need for film preservation
and the conservation of our audiovisual heritage, we are proud to present a free screening of this exquisite IB Technicolor print of Alfred Hitchcock’s classic thriller "Rear Window".

George Eastman Museum Preservationist Anthony L'Abbate joins us to discuss the Technicolor dye-transfer process prior to the screening.

Free Screening at 6:30pm

 On the occasion of the 2017 World Day for Audiovisual Heritage Croatian State Archives/Croatian Film Archive and the Croatian Film Directors’ Guild organised the Croatian film heritage conference.

The conference include a wide range of topics on the protection and preservation of the Croatian film heritage, its potentials for development, and the European practices in this area.

The film heritage festival “Film:ReStored” will take place for the second time at the Filmhaus on Potsdamer Platz from October 26‒29, 2017. It is organized by the Deutsche Kinemathek on behalf of the Deutscher Kinematheksverbund (association of German cinematheques). The festival dates have been scheduled to correlate with UNESCO’s “World Day for Audiovisual Heritage” on October 27, 2017, which is the same day that this year’s Kinopreis des Kinematheksverbundes will be awarded.

The four-day festival “Film:ReStored_02” premieres digitally restored films. Associated lectures and workshop talks will devote themselves to questions surrounding the digitalization of film heritage. This year, copyright holders and authors ‒ as partners and participants of the digitalization projects ‒ are the focus of the debates. Archives would only be able to advance the digitalization of film heritage in a very limited way without the cooperation of the license holders. Contact points between archives and active copyright holders are diverse. The source materials are stored in the archives and the technical expertise required for dealing with the historical film material can be found there as well. However, without the consent and support of the copyright holders, these resources pertaining to archival works can only be conditionally used and further developed.

Where do the objectives and means of archives and license holders overlap during the digitalization of film heritage? The integration of living copyright holders and authors (for example directors and camera crews) into the digitalization process, can be extremely valuable for treatment that is true to the original, but it can also produce areas of friction. The desire for a creative revision, for instance, may be opposed to scholarly or archivist standards. Then again, making different versions could also be a way to do justice to divergent requirements. Can common guidelines or a “happy medium” be found?

This year Cinemateket will focus on one of Sweden's national minorities, the Sami.
In Swedish film history the Sami have been absent or featured as background material, but there has been exceptions. Films that wanted to document and show the Sami way of life. We will screen three of these.

To celebrate the international World Day of Audiovisual Heritage as well as the worldwide film viewing party Directed by Women, the IU Libraries Moving Image Archive presents a screening of recently acquired movies by women filmmakers. This eclectic mix of films will include travelogs showing the exotic destinations of the 1960s Jet Age, footage of scientific studies of infant development from the 1930s, domestic scenes from Bloomington and Indianapolis, and melodramatic training films for nurses from the 1970s.
