Το Πολιτιστικό Ίδρυμα Ομίλου Πειραιώς (ΠΙΟΠ) και η Ελληνική Αρχειακή Εταιρεία (ΕΑΕ) διοργανώνουν τη δεύτερη κατά σειρά ημερίδα με τίτλο «Οπτικοακουστικά Αρχεία: ζητήματα διαχείρισης και πρόσβασης», την Τετάρτη 30 Οκτωβρίου (ώρα 10:00-14:30), στο Ιστορικό Αρχείο του Ιδρύματος, στον Ταύρο.

Η συνάντηση πραγματοποιείται με την ευκαιρία της Παγκόσμιας Ημέρας Οπτικοακουστικής Κληρονομιάς, όπως αυτή καθιερώθηκε από τη Γενική Διάσκεψη της UNESCO, για την ανάδειξη της οπτικοακουστικής αρχειακής κληρονομιάς ως μέσου καταγραφής της ανθρώπινης δράσης και διάσωσης της ιστορικής μνήμης.

Η συνεχόμενη εξέλιξη των σύγχρονων τεχνολογιών και ο αυξανόμενος όγκος των οπτικοακουστικών τεκμηρίων δημιουργούν τεράστιες προκλήσεις για τους φορείς διατήρησής τους και καθιστούν επιτακτική μια σειρά πολιτικών σχετικά με την αρχειοθέτηση, διατήρηση, αξιοποίηση και πρόσβαση στις συλλογές, με δεδομένη και τη μετάβαση από αναλογικές σε ψηφιακές μορφές. Υπαρκτός είναι και ο κίνδυνος της απαξίωσης αντίστοιχων συλλογών υλικού σε φιλμ, ταινίες και δίσκους για λόγους οικονομικούς ή λόγω υποτίμησης της σημασίας τους και της ταχείας τεχνολογικής εξέλιξης των μέσων ανάγνωσης. Παρόμοιες συνθήκες δημιουργούν την ανάγκη η αρχειακή κοινότητα να εστιάσει στο ζήτημα της ευθραυστότητας των ιστορικών ηχογραφήσεων και κινούμενων εικόνων.

Οι διοργανωτές φιλοδοξούν η συνάντηση να αποτελέσει άλλη μία ευκαιρία για αντίστοιχους φορείς να παρουσιάσουν πρακτικές και να μοιραστούν προβληματισμούς, ώστε να εμπεδωθεί ο διάλογος σε θέματα αξιοποίησης οπτικοακουστικών συλλογών και διασφάλισης της πρόσβασης σε αυτές. Το πρόγραμμα της ημερίδας συγκροτείται από παρουσιάσεις περιεχομένου και πολιτικών

διατήρησης και πρόσβασης συναφών φορέων καθώς και την εμπειρία ερευνητών και δημιουργών που αξιοποίησαν σχετικό υλικό.

Η συμμετοχή είναι δωρεάν. Για την εγγραφή των συμμετεχόντων θα τηρηθεί σειρά προτεραιότητας (τηλ. 210 3418011, Δευτ.-Παρ. 9:00-17:00).

The workshop titled "Sustaining Sound and Visual Collection" was organized by ICCROM and the State Record and Archives Department of Vietnam in the National Archives Center III from October 15th to 25th, 2019. Under the instruction of 3 ICCROM experts (Mick Newnham, Swee Cheng Wong, Irfan Zuberi), 23 participants from the national archives centers of Vietnam took part in the workshop. At the end of the training, the participants are able to (1) recognise various AV media types and formats in the collection, (2) understand how records deteriorate and the solutions, (3) identify records for digitisation, (4) learn how to digitise and develop a preservation plan and (5) learn how to set up a trusted digital repository and develop a creative use and open access plan. During the workshop, the ICCROM experts and participants of the workshop "Sustaining Sound and Visual Collection" visited the Vietnam National Film Institute and the Documentation Centre at Vietnam Television.

VIEW Journal of European Television History and Culture offers an international platform for outstanding academic research and archival reflection on television as an important part of our European cultural heritage. The journal is open to many disciplinary perspectives on European television – including television history, media studies, media sociology, cultural studies and television studies.

This 15th edition of the open access online journal explores the many ways in which television’s material heritage can be repurposed or exploited, bringing to the fore new emergent uses for this older medium. Television’s material culture offers a starting point into our exploration of television’s current status. Artefacts and material traces are imbued with social relations. They unearth for us the web of users, uses and meanings associated to television, both in its historical and present form.

The issue was co-edited by John Ellis and Dana Mustata and published online on October 27, 2019, in honour of the World Day of Audiovisual Heritage!

Gartenberg Media Enterprises presents a rare audio clip from a field recording during John F. Kennedy’s 1960 Presidential Campaign. In his remarks, JFK encapsulates William Faulkner’s famous observation that "The past is never dead. It's not even past" as he speaks to the enduring social values of the Democratic party, versus those of the Republican party in the United States. Sixty years later this divide between the two political parties is even more profoundly evident.

Today is the #AudiovisualHeritageDay launched by UNESCO in 1980 in recognition of the archives of audiovisual heritage about the lives and cultures of people around the world. The main objective of the day was to recommend the protection and preservation of this heritage. World Day offers an opportunity to raise awareness about the need for urgent measures and to recognize the importance of audio-visual documents and materials.

We here at the Street Museum invite all our fans and followers to participate in the day in a simple and practical way to remove dust from your personal archive and re-view and enjoy it and perhaps digitize and share with friends as we do here every day.

As the 2019 World Day for Audiovisual Heritage coincides with the 40th anniversary of Taiwan Film Institute's establishment, our celebration this year is especially monumental. From a small film library established in 1978, Taiwan Film Institute (TFI) has expanded throughout the years to what is now an institute dedicated to the preservation, restoration and promotion of Taiwan cinema. From 2019 on, we are expected to take on even more responsibilities, such as adding television and radio materials to our vast collection.

To celebrate our milestone year and raise awareness of the importance of preserving audiovisual heritage, TFI organized screenings of three films from October 25 to 26 at Taipei's Spot Huashan Cinema in a series of events titled 'Together, In Time.' "The Homecoming Pilgrimage of Dajia Mazu", our newly restored classic originally filmed in the 1970s, was screened after a press conference. The TV documentary details the religious phenomenom of tens of thousands of people in procession for over 10 days, following Mazu (sea goddess) for over 400 kilometers. The annual pilgrimage made UNESCO's world intangible cultural heritage list in 2008. The TV documentary was restored in 2K from its release print, and has undergone multiple challenges due to its severely faded colors.

Hou Hsiao-hsien's "A City of Sadness" was also screened on this occasion. Released in 1989, "A City of Sadness" was the first Taiwanese film to garner the highest honor at Venice Film Festival. Its critical success not only put Taiwan's New Cinema on the world cinema map, Hou's mastery in using long takes also enriched the cinematic language. A 35mm release print was screened on October 26. Scratches and stains were visible throughout the screening, reminding the audience that films do deteriorate with time.

Last on the list was the WP of "Archiving Time", a documentary produced by TFI about the work of our vault employees. Filmed over two years, "Archiving Time" takes the audience through how films are acquired, preserved and restored at our vaults and restoration lab. Two screenings were held on October 25, one for the public, the other for the past and present employees of TFI. The screenings were not only a call for attention to the urgency of our work, they were also a tribute to members of TFI who have dedicated much of their lives to this great cause.

Aside from past and present members of TFI, government officials, filmmakers and cinephiles were also in attendance. TFI's director, Dr. Wang Chun-Chi took the opportunity to urge the audience to join our efforts in preserving Taiwan's audiovisual heritage, e.g. by donating to TFI films preserved in poor conditions. Dr. Wang pointed out that much of the history and culture of the 20th and 21th century are kept in audiovisual forms. Therefore, it is essential to safeguard our audiovisual heritage, and it requires the assistance and awareness of all people. 'Together, In Time' was the title of our celebratory events, and also of our ongoing quest and mission.

Bangladesh Film Archive (affiliated to FIAF)

Engage the Past Through Sound and Images

Bangladesh Film Archive (BFA) celebrates World Day for Audiovisual Heritage with a number of activities including film screening on Sunday in Bangladesh capital Dhaka. The day falls on 27 October. The programme will be organized at the Projection Hall (2 level) of the BFA building.
The day’s programme will begin with the screening of documentary titled Historic March 7 Speech. The documentary is based on the historical speech of the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujiber Rahman that was delivered on 7th March, 1971 in Dhaka at a gathering of 2 million of people. The speech inspired the Bangalis to take part in glorious War of Liberation against the Pakistani occupation forces. Recently, UNESCO added the historic speech in the Memory of the world Register as a documentary heritage.
Later, Mukh O Mukhosh, the first Bangla language feature film released in 1956 will be also screened. The film was made by Abdul Jabbar Khan. Thus the BFA will uphold the past through Sounds , Image and History.

The United Nations has designated 27 October as the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage aimed at building global awareness of the urgency and importance of preserving audiovisual materials such as sound recordings and moving images. These are among the most vulnerable types of heritage materials, due to the use of rapidly deteriorating materials in the construction of carriers and the impending obsolescence of playback machines, particularly for materials recorded on magnetic tape. A great deal of effort and care is required in order to preserve the marvellous 20th-century accomplishments of Arab cinema, television, radio and music industries for future generations. 

Dedicated to the safeguarding of cultural heritage, and in cooperation with UCL–Qatar and the British Library-Qatar Foundation Partnership, the Library cordially invites you to an evening to celebrate the unique audiovisual heritage of Qatar and the Middle East. We will discuss the importance and urgency of audiovisual preservation on a large scale in the hope of finding collaborative solutions by building on shared experience and expertise.

The event will have two parts:

1. A lecture: “The Gulf and the Arab Audiovisual Heritage: The Urgency and the Possibilities of Preservation,” by Hazem Jamjoum, British Library.

2. A panel discussion: “Preserving Our Audiovisual Heritage: Challenges and Opportunities”, with the participation of Shayya AlFadel, Abdul Salam Jadallah and Pamela Erskine-Loftus.

Cinemateca Brasileira promotes screening of pioneer’s shorts animations at the 2019 World Day for Audiovisual Heritage

On October 27, the Cinemateca Brasileira and the 43th São Paulo Int'l Film Festival celebrate the 2019 World Day for Audiovisual Heritage with a screening programme at the free-standing space of São Paulo Museum of Art (MASP, in Portuguese) in Paulista Avenue.

The Programme "Méliès and the beginnings of Brazilian Cinema” consists in eight restored short-films from Georges Méliès and the Brazilian feature short-films "Macaco feio... macaco bonito" (1929) and "Frivolitá" (1930), both directed by Luiz Seel and pioneers of the animation technique in the Brazilian cinema. The free-admission screening will count with live piano accompaniment by Tony Berchmans.

“It was a formidable moment of gender liberation, it was an explosion and something changed that never went back”… “Although, it’s not just the struggle for the right to vote that was beautiful because it was a victory for women that we could finally vote… But it’s not just that it’s what came after that’s important”

When fascism fell, the war ended, on June 2, 1946 the Italians returned to free vote: they were called to choose between monarchy or republic, and to elect representatives of the constitutional assembly.

The voices of the women who voted for the first time in Italy in 1946 were collected by an archivist and a visual anthropologist, Emanuela Mazzina and Silvana Profeta, in a documentary film that reactivates the memories of a generation marked by fascism and war. Stories of life different for culture, social class, region of origin, enrich the "official" representation of history with many individual narratives.

“Go to vote without lipstick!” was a famous recommendation addressed to women in the Italian press. The ballots paper, if recognizables because of lips traces, would be invalidated. The documentary is named after this exhortation.  

This project for the enhancement and conservation of memory and our collective stories is also designed for future generations. "The testimonies urge today's girls to reflect on the conquest of rights, warning them of the need not to take for granted what they have and to continue to seek that equality, which the interviewees themselves do not yet see definitively reached in fields other than the vote". 

The video interviews of the film were collected in a digital archive that will be accessible online. The film was produced by an institution and a company both involved in the management, preserving, dissemination of archives, Aamod and regesta.exe.

The film (color and b/n, duration 52”, edited by Milena Fiore) is constructed with footage from Archivio Istituto Luce Cinecittà, Aamod, private archives.

StoryBlock is an oral history and visual community archive that celebrates the cultural richness of Kelly Street residents living in the Longwood section of the South Bronx.​ This project who was commissioned by The Laundromat Project’s Create Change Program and is now currently archived at Bronx Community College’s Archives. StoryBlock was the result of a collaboration between artists Sasha Phyars-Burgess and Alison Hall Kibbe, as a continuation of their Hunts Point Create Change Fellows 2014 Field Day project. These narratives shed light on the past, present and future of Kelly Street, the South Bronx, New York City, and the diversity and beauty of our individual and collective stories.  -CT

Shanghai Audio-Visual Archives will celebrate the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage by holding themed screenings on 27th and 29th October. This year we will pay special attention to a filmmaker Wan-go Weng who has been unsung in the history of film. Our researcher will introduce Mr Weng’s life story and his achievement along with his three short documentary films: A Town by the Yangtze, Chinese Shadow Play and Painting a Chinese Figure.

Wan-go Weng, formerly known as Xingqing Weng, was born in Shanghai in 1918 with his ancestral home in Changshu. He is a great-great-grandson of Weng Tonghe (1830-1904), Chinese Confucian scholar and imperial tutor during the Qing dynasty. He was admitted to Shanghai Jiaotong University at the age of 18, went to Purdue University in the United States at the age of 20, and obtained a master's degree in mechanical and electrical engineering at the age of 22. In the same year, he entered the Department of Fine Arts at University of Wisconsin to learn painting. Since then he has been engaged in painting, photography and filmmaking.

For more than half a century, Mr. Wan-ge Weng has been dedicated in the anti-Japanese war, the promotion of Chinese culture and art, and the cultural communication between Chinese and American. The narration of "The Battle of China" in the famous anti-war series "Why We Fight" was written by Mr. Weng. In 1946, he and Situ Huimin, Zheng Yongzhi and others founded a Chinese film company in the United States, specializing in filming Chinese-themed educational films and documentaries, and successively filming "The Story of Chinese Art " and "East in the West" (Chinese students studying in the United States) and dozens of works, preserving a lot of precious Chinese historical moving images for future generations.

This year, as part of our celebrations of the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, we organized several “backyard” tours of the Archive in September/October to widely introduce our continued activities to archive and preserve films.  We invited the film directors, producers and researchers from Asian countries such as the Philippines, Thailand, Korea, China, India, Kazakhstan and Taiwan. One of the participants was a Philippine director Mr. Kidlat Tahimik, with whom we fully discussed the value and importance of film preservation especially in Asian countries.  Throughout the tours and communication with these visitors, we explained and shared the FIAF’s Manifesto, “Don’t Throw Film Away”, described in several languages including Japanese.

Em 27 de outubro acontece o Dia Mundial do Patrimônio Audiovisual, comemoração aprovada pela Conferência Geral da UNESCO, em 2005, como forma de chamar a atenção para a necessidade da adoção de medidas urgentes que permitam a conservação dos arquivos audiovisuais no mundo inteiro e a importância desse patrimônio para o reconhecimento da identidade de todos os povos.

De forma a comemorar esta data, em consonância com a orientação da Federação Internacional de Filmes de Arquivo (FIAF), da qual o Arquivo Nacional é membro, é proposto para o dia 29 de outubro de 2019 o evento Envolva o passado com sons e imagens: o audiovisual e os saberes indígenas

Un convegno per affrontare il tema delle fonti orali da diversi punti di vista, discutendo di produzione, conservazione, uso e riuso delle fonti, sia sul piano tecnico-scientifico sia su quello divulgativo, con l’intento di mettere a confronto diverse generazioni di ricercatori e operatori.

Oggetto delle relazioni sono: il censimento in corso degli archivi sonori e audiovisivi presso la rete degli Istituti per la storia della Resistenza, i lavori in corso per la redazione di un vademecum sulla descrizione, conservazione e ri-uso delle fonti orali, l’impatto sulla storia orale del regolamento europeo sulla protezione dei dati personali, le esperienze virtuose di conservazione e riuso degli archivi sonori, la costituzione di archivi di testimonianze orali come atto di democrazia, la solidarietà tra generazioni di storici e storiche orali.

In particolare, sarà presentata la pubblicazione on line, nel sito dell’AISO, della collezione completa della rivista “Fonti orali. Studi e ricerche” http://aisoitalia.org/fonti-orali-studi-e-ricerche/, primo organo di collegamento del movimento delle storiche e degli storici orali italiani, uscita tra il 1981 e il 1987. Nell’occasione, sarà conferita la “tessera onoraria” dell’AISO a tutti i componenti del comitato scientifico della rivista, nel segno della solidarietà delle generazioni che hanno fatto la storia orale.

1. There Is No Resurrection Without Death (Voskresenja ne biva bez smrti,1922) - Unique for many things, "Voskresenje" has literally followed the destiny of the country it was dedicated to. Ending of World War One brought the paradox unheard-of in the political history of Europe: Montenegro, country fought the side of allies, had lost its statehood. 

2. Montenegro and Great War (Crna Gora i Veliki rat, 2018) - This project is extremely important document for our society, because in short review presents all the relevant moments of our history, sidelined  from the general audience, but is really necessary for historical and  scientific importance of this period, which will witness the newly found film materials.

3. State Fortress Žabljak (Žabljak Crnojevića, 2018) - “The better you know something, the better you love it”: this also applies to our natural world, our history and our country, and the more we learn about them, the closer they grow to our heart. That’s when we truly appreciate them and treasure them! The largest, best preserved and undoubtedly the most important medieval fortified city situated on the territory of modern Montenegro and associated with the Crnojević family is certainly Žabljak, mostly known as Žabljak Crnojevića.

27 de octubre: Día Mundial del Patrimonio Audiovisual
«Explora el pasado a través del sonido y las imágenes», UNESCO 2019

En el marco del proyecto de concientización del valor del documento audiovisual, el Archivo General de la Nación, realiza una campaña digital en la que incluye registros de actos cívicos y electorales que forman parte de su acervo documental.

En concordancia con su triple función social, ser fuente para la historia, el arte y la cultura; memoria institucional y ser garante de los derechos ciudadanos, el Archivo General, se une una vez más a la propuesta de la Unesco: “concientizar sobre la necesidad de tomar medidas urgentes y reconocer la importancia de los documentos audiovisuales, como parte integrante de la identidad nacional”.

El Departamento de Cine, Audio y Video, perteneciente al Archivo General de la Nación, lleva adelante este año la 4° edición de su proyecto de concientización del valor del documento audiovisual. En ese sentido, difundirá diferentes videos con registros documentales de su acervo referidos a actos cívicos y electorales, con el fin de poner en valor los procesos democráticos de Argentina.

Los documentos audiovisuales contienen los registros principales de los siglos XX-XXI; son fundamentales para probar los hechos de la Administración Pública y otros actores sociales. Es importante que mantengamos su autenticidad, integridad, fiabilidad y respeto al contexto de creación y producción.

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.

El Ayuntamiento de Santiago de los Caballeros, la Dirección General de Cine (DGCINE) y su dependencia de la Cinemateca Dominicana, celebran el "Día Mundial del Patrimonio Audiovisual", del 25 al 27 de octubre, en la ciudad de Santiago de los Caballeros.

Dichas actividades se realizan por medio del programa Cinemateca sobre ruedas, creado por la DGCINE, a través de la Cinemateca Dominicana, con la finalidad de continuar presentando películas dominicanas en salas alternativas de diferentes puntos del territorio nacional, con el fin de promover la cultura del séptimo arte y ofrecer una opción de sano entretenimiento.

El programa inicia con el panel "Pasaje de ida: la película salvada", contactando con los expositores, ambos especialistas en preservación de documentos, Lic. José Enrique Rodríguez, coordinador de archivo fílmico de la Cinemateca Dominicana y el Lic. Juan Bautista Sánchez del Archivo General de la Nación (AGN). El objetivo principal es presentar los resultados del proyecto de restauración de la obra cinematográfica "Un pasaje de ida", dirigida por Agilberto Meléndez en 1988, desarrollado este año en colaboración entre instituciones. El encuentro de la noche del 25 de octubre termina con la interpretación en vivo de la canción "Dejar mi tierra", la cual forma parte de la película, continuación de la proyección de la obra completa.

La celebración continuará todo el fin de semana con actividades libres de costo de entrada que incluyen:

Charla de apreciación cinematográfica "Yo sé de cine", impartida por Fiora Cruz, directora de la Cinemateca Dominicana.

On the occasion of the World Day for the Audiovisual Heritage 2019, The Albanian National Film Archive (AQSHF) in collaboration with Tirana Youth Center will have an "Open Day at the Film Archive".

A group of students from the University of Arts - Tirana, will visit our archive and have a chance to experience up close why safeguarding Albanian film heritage is so important and vital.

Moderated by our experienced Mrs. Eriona Vyshka, we hope this meeting with AQSHF' specialists will make our future artists excited about our 35mm film legacy, and as they grow aware of our rich and unique film-related collections, they'll understand why we must preserve heritage films.

Slovak Film Institute is celebrating the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage by special screening on 27th October in Kino Lumière, the Cinema of the Slovak Film Institute, the new digitally restored Slovak feature film Wild Lilies (1972) from a major figure among the directors of the Czechoslovak New Wave Elo Havetta. He made only two feature films but these thanks to their artistic quality and originality stand out in the context of the Slovak cinema.

Wild Lilies is one of those films that do not seem to fit into the age when they were made. Playing with filmic language, references to other films, a story broken up into small episodes, and characters taken from the social periphery – all of these attributes mark Havetta’s auteurship typical of the late 1960s, and which in the context of Slovak cinema falls outside of any timeframe.

The film Wild Lilies is part of the collection of the National Film Archive of the Slovak Film Institute (SFI) and was digitally restored this year.

For celebrating the World Day of Audiovisual Heritage, the Department of Folklore, at the Institute of Cultural Anthropology and Art Studies in Tirana will exhibit some of the main technologies  that the scholars have used for documenting expressive practices in Albania during the second half of the 20th century. The Audiovisual Archive of this Institute holds nowadays not only an intangible memory, but also a technological one. Reel to reel tape recorders, cameras, microphones, discs and videocassetts are going to be displayed for the viewers, alongside photo projections with the scholars and technicians that worked with them. Considering these items not as mere artifacts but as means to connect to the people who used them, this exhibition is dedicated to the memory of Mexhit Daiu, one of the first scholars that collected traditional music since the creation of this Institute. 

Sound, Image, Technologies is an exhibition curated by Mikaela Minga, in collaboration with Robert Collaku and Elvis Gorica

Starting to the World audiovisual day till World radio day on 2020 we'll produce 5 chapters in the new Facebook from Radio Andorra exploring the transformation of the country through radio programs and family images.

From 1940 to 1980 Ràdio Andorra and Sud Ràdio broadcast from a neutral country during the Second World War and post-Spanish civil War and also in disagreement of the Andorran authorities. In spite of this controversy the impact from this radios it was around the world. According to contributions by an antic announcer and programmer from Andorra, Georges Maltot, the 1969 radio Andorra had an average of 2,680,000 nocturnal listeners and 1,946,000 daytime. People approach their family and culture through the music, advertising's and other programs. At the same time Andorra began to be a new country.

We celebrate this day making it available to the general public for new resources to explore.

Pamela B. Green's energetic film about pioneer filmmaker Alice Guy-Blaché is both a tribute and a detective story, tracing the circumstances by which this extraordinary artist faded from memory and the path toward her reclamation.

Introduction by head of Cinemateket, Jan Langlo.

SCCA’s archive of video and new media art DIVA Station each year marks the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage – 27th of October, pronounced for the first time in 2005 by UNESCO. Our goal is to emphasize the meaning of archives and audiovisual material as an important part of cultural heritage.

This year the Slovenian Cinematheque and Kathrin Becker (n.b.k. Video-Forum Berlin), who will present the video program, join us at the celebration. 

The program that consists of works from the n.b.k. Video-Forum and is selected by Kathrin Becker shows a variety of appropriation practice in video art from the 1970s to the present.

The Asian Film Archive (AFA) celebrates World Audiovisual Heritage Day with our Volunteer Appreciation Day. AFA values our volunteers as they are an integral part of the archive, helping with the preservation and archiving of our films as well as the operation, outreach and access to the public for the public screenings. With the opening of the newly-opened Oldham Theatre at the National Archives of Singapore where the AFA holds regular weekly screenings, volunteers have become more integral to the running of our programs more than ever.

For Volunteer Appreciation Day, the staff, volunteers and other guests of AFA gathered at Oldham Theatre to celebrate. There was a tea, as well as a recognition of our volunteers and staff contributions, followed by a screening of AFA's new release film for October: the Chinese film by Wang Xiaoshuai, So Long, My Son (2019). 

AFA aspires to be a hub for the Asian film community, contributing to culture, scholarship and industry through organised screenings, educational and cultural programmes that open and enrich new intellectual, educational and creative spaces, to promote a wider critical appreciation of this art form.

The AFA holds Singapore’s first collection of films (AFA Cathay-Keris Malay Classics) inscribed into the UNESCO Memory of the World Asia-Pacific Register, a listing of significant documentary heritage that are a legacy for the world’s community. It has a collection available for public reference at the library@esplanade.

Founded in 2005 as a non-profit organisation to preserve the rich film heritage of Asian Cinema, the AFA is a charity based in Singapore and an Institution of Public Character. The AFA won the New Non-Profit Initiative Award at the 2007 National Volunteers and Philanthropy Awards (Singapore) for original, sustainable, impactful and best practices. In January 2014, the AFA became a subsidiary of the National Library Board.

The festival Film:ReStored was launched four years ago to highlight new digital restorations and discuss the challenges of film heritage in the digital era and always takes place around the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage on October 27th.

Alongside premieres of digitally restored films, the fourth edition of Film:ReStored will primarily focus on film sound. Historical sound formats represent a special challenge in terms of restoration. But the latest digital technology makes it possible to come as close as possible to the original sound.

Workshop reports and presentations will introduce new scanning procedures and examples from film history showing how sound has been used–ranging from shellac records to four-channel magnetic tapes, and from Die Jagd nach der Million (The Chase After Millions, GER 1930, d: Max Obal) to The Flying Dutchman (GDR 1964, d: Joachim Herz). How does sound editing change a work? And how should different versions be assessed?

Audio descriptions are now an integral component of many DCPs, as film heritage should be made available barrier-free. For this reason, the festival is also dedicated to inclusive access to (historical) films. We will review and discuss exemplary audio descriptions as well as the quality standards and challenges presented by silent and experimental films.

As in the past, this year’s guests from international FIAF archives will discuss their digitization strategies and projects: The Polish National Film Archive (FINA) reports on the "Nitrofilm project"; the Kinemathek dedicates itself to Hans Richter's experimental silent films and the Filmmuseum Potsdam together with the University of Zurich looks into historical magnetic tape technologies.

UCLA Film & Television Archive and the Taiwan Academy of Los Angeles present new and compelling cinematic works from Taiwan, one of the most dynamic hubs of cultural exchange in the world. Restored classics will be shown alongside blockbuster hits and arthouse gems, most of them screening in Los Angeles for the first time. Diversity and gender equity in front of and behind the camera emerge as energizing themes, as well as questions of political, cultural and personal identity.

The Taiwan Biennial Film Festival is honored to present the following new restorations:

Richard Chen: Early Works
Saturday October 26, 2019 - 3:00 pm

Before becoming a leading director in the booming Taiwan commercial film industry of the 1970s and helming a series of classic melodramas starring then up-and-coming ingenue Brigitte Lin (Come Fly with Me; Moon Fascinating, Bird Sweet), Richard Chen was a film student at UCLA where he tried on a variety of genres and styles to explore issues of Taiwanese cultural and national identity. The Archive will present four of Chen’s student works newly restored by the Taiwan Film Institute.

Raining in the Mountain (Taiwan, 1979)
Monday October 28, 2019 - 7:30 pm

Two rival groups of thieves arrive at a remote Buddhist monastery to steal an ancient sutra manuscript while the monastery itself is rife with intrigue as the monks vie to succeed its aging abbot. The second of two classic epics, the other being Legend of the Mountain, shot by the legendary King Hu in Korea, Raining in the Mountain is a late-career masterpiece presented here in a new restoration.

DCP. color, 120 min. Director/screenwriter: King Hu. Cast: Hsu Feng, Sun Yueh, Shih Chun.

415 Danish silent film titles, with a total running time of more than 350 hours will be digitized and made available for free on stumfilm.dk in the period 2019-2023. Film programs, posters, stills, manuscripts, intertitles, will accompany each film and reviews, as the materials surrounding the silent films will also be transformed into digital files.

Stumfilm.dk is at the heart of the comprehensive digitization and dissemination initiative that aims to digitize, study and disseminate the entire surviving Danish film heritage. Here you can follow the results of our film archaeological efforts and gain insight into a time, where Denmark was bigger than Hollywood.

Denmark was a leading film production country in the 1910s, which makes the films interesting to both national and international viewers and scholars. Both commercially and artistically Danish films dominated the world’s cinema screens, with Nordisk Films Kompagni (now Nordisk Film) at the forefront. Stars like Asta Nielsen, Valdemar Psilander and Fy & Bi were famous far beyond the shores of their home country. Denmark’s greatest film director, Carl Th. Dreyer, also started his career in silent cinema. As sound films gained ground in the early 1930s, silent films lost their value, and only an estimated 20% of the Danish silent film production exists today.

These 20% surviving films will now become available on stumfilm.dk and offer an, albeit not complete, image of who we once were. The films have a broad range, from prestige productions with international appeal to run-of-the-mill farces, illustrating the technical evolution from silent to sound, color to black and white, and much more.

Stumfilm.dk will be a dynamically developing website and everyone is invited to follow our work in film heritage, bringing our analogue past into the digital era. The process is vast and unpredictable. Some films have not been seen since the 1920s, but creating their path to stumfilm.dk also means that we are building the infrastructure continuously until the end of 2023.

As a guide to the films, we will contextualize the films in thematic collections, which highlight the fascinating, mysterious, awesome, sexy and funny stories hiding in the archive. Whether you are a researcher, enthusiast or just curious, you can dive into the early star culture, get an insight into the digitization process, or just browse your way through the cornucopia of cinematographic treasures.

The project is generously funded by Augustinus Fonden, Aage og Johanne Louis-Hansen Fonden and A.P. Møller Fonden, who each have donated 10 mio. DKK.

Engage the past through sound and images’ : the very first event for ‘World Day for Audiovisual Heritage’ in Korea.

To celebrate ‘World Day for Audiovisual Heritage’, The Korean Public Policy Forum for Audiovisual Heritage and Archival Science Research Center in Hankuk University of Foreign Studies are holding an event, under the theme of ‘Replay our forgotten audiovisual heritage’, on October 26th, 2019.
The purpose of the event is to inform what ‘audiovisual heritage’ is and to raise awareness on our forgotten audiovisual heritage. Cooperating with Dongdaemun city district and ICHCAP(International Information and Networking Centre for Intangible Cultural Heritage in the Asia-Pacific Region under the auspices of UNESCO), The Korean Public Policy Focum for Audiovisual Heritage is concentrating on two main topics, locality and intangible heritage, through the record collection event, exhibition, and film screening.
On the day of the event, there will be two sections of a symposium, a screening session, and a round table with various topics regarding audiovisual heritage and MOW(Memory of the World). Furthermore, there will be a video screening about the collections of audiovisual heritage records (including pictures, audio, video, etc..), which were collected through the event. An exhibition of various audiovisual equipment and collections will be held simultaneously as well.

Running from 10am – 4pm, this interactive exhibit will feature a variety of legacy audiovisual formats and technology culled from Special Collections & Archives and Technology & Digital Scholarship. The exhibit will also include a looping video installation featuring films preserved by FSU Libraries–films chronicling important campus events like The Great Westcott Fire of 1969, moments of familial bliss and beauty as found in the Means Family Collection, and great triumphs of FSU football, Flying High Circus, and the Tarpon Club Synchronized Swimming Team. Preservation Librarian, Hannah Davis, and Resident Media Librarian, Dave Rodriguez, will be on-hand to chat with patrons and answer questions about FSU’s unique collections, preservation efforts, and the challenges and complexities inherent to the stewardship of these materials.

On Sunday 27 Oct. at 15:00, Rommy Albers (senior curator of Eye) will introduce the reconstructed version of the Dutch film Zeemansvrouwen (1930). This film by Henk Kleinman was meant to be the first Dutch sound film, but due to technical complications became the last Dutch silent film. In 2003, Eye Filmmuseum undertook a radical restoration and reconstruction to restore the film and to add a new soundtrack, including the dialogues. 

This event is a collaboration between Eye Filmmuseum and the Amsterdam City Archive and is part of the exhibition 'Modern Perspectives', and is open to all visitors of the exhibition.

Alongside digitally restored films, the fourth edition of Film:ReStored will primarily focus on film sound. Historical sound formats represent a special challenge in terms of restoration. But the latest digital technology makes it possible to come as close as possible to the original sound.

A la Cinémathèque des Pays de Savoie et de l’Ain, nous vous proposons une conférence unique intitulée Le cinéma amateur c'est quoi, présentée par Michel Najar, membre fondateur de la cinémathèque dans le cadre de la Journée Mondiale du Patrimoine audiovisuel de l'Unesco, et de l’exposition Instantanés d'une cinémathèque.
 

Préhistoire et débats. Avant la constitution de la cinémathèque un débat occupe les membres fondateurs : quels critères retenir pour les dépôts de films ? Accepte-t-on les films professionnels ? Quel périmètre territorial/patrimonial est concerné par notre "cueillette" ? Les départements, la région, les Alpes ? La question des locaux, de l'espace de stockage... nous amène à nous limiter. 
 

Le choix, la voie royale. La rencontre des films amateurs, l'extrême variété des sujets, des auteurs, de la qualité aussi nous amène à nous focaliser sur les "petits formats". Globalement trois types de films : les films de famille, les films de "notables" (prêtres, instituteurs, responsables d'entreprises), les films semi-professionnels d'amateurs ambitieux (camera-clubs).
 

La valorisation de ces films est un enjeu d'importance : esthétique, éthique, économique, juridique. Le film d'amateur est une matière première. Pour le meilleur et pour le moins bon...Mais, à la différence des matières premières, une fois utilisée, l'image, dans les rayons de la cinémathèque, demeure prête à de nouvelles interprétations... et elle peut toujours être consommée brute.
 

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

Franz Osten's adaptation of a novel by Ludwig Ganghofer is set in the Bavarian Alps in the 15th century. Lambert, son of a clerk, and farmer's daugther Jula fall in love, while their fathers enter in a bitter argument over some land. When the situation escalates into violence, other farmers start a bloody uprising against the sovereign.

 DER OCHSENKRIEG was the first film to be shot at the Geiselgasteig studios of the Bavaria Film GmbH. On the occasion of the centenary of the foundation of the company, DFF - Deutsches Filminstitut & Filmmuseum has carried out an elaborate restoration of the film.

 The new musical score was written by Hans-Jürgen Buchner, member of the Bavarian cult band Haindling.  

Helmut Käutner's HIMMEL OHNE STERNE was the first film to deal with the inner German border. The fact that Käutner, who could never visit the GDR during his life, chose to be as unpolitical and neutral as possible in his film, was appreciated neither in west nor east Germany.

 When factory worker Anna from east Germany and border guard Karl from Bavaria fall in love, the only place where they can meet is an abandoned train station between the borders. When Anna finally tries to flee the GDR with her son things take a tragic turn.

 On the occasion of the UNESCO World Day of Audiovisual Heritage, we present two newly digitised films from our film archive. HIMMEL OHNE STERNE was digitised from the original film negative. The digitisation was supported by the funding programme "Filmerbe des Bundes".    

Based on the collections of the Museum of Cinema, as well as different archives and Catalan collections (MUHBA, AHCB, MNACTEC, Rocamora Foundation), this exhibition wants to claim this lesser-known facet but of great influence on the professional activity of Francesc Dalmau (1810-1886), who was the first modern optician of the city of Barcelona. This is an opportunity to make the visitor discover the visual universe in which the spectators of the nineteenth century were immersed. A rich and fascinating universe in resources and expressive forms, many of which are still fully present in our contemporary visual culture.

As part of the WeAre#EuropeForCulture initiative, CRDI created a participatory virtual exhibition in Girona, dedicated to amateur sports. This project is funded by the European Commission, within the framework of the European Year of Cultural Heritage 2018.
The virtual exhibition focuses on amateur sports in the city of Girona, in the year of the centenary of the GEiEG association. An innovative application will allow to explore the digitized images through an interactive system that will be available to the visitor. For the realization of the exhibition, we used the material selected from the workshop that took place on September 24 at CRDI facilities, in which several people linked to GEiEG worked on the contents of this exhibition.

The workshop aims to involve people in the process of valuing their own family photographs in two different ways: conservation and memories. As a result of this workshop, we will create an audiovisual in order to explain the methodology on how to involve people interested in the photographic heritage. The workshop will be drived by Susanna Muriel, a training professional specialized in family photography.
This activity is part of the European Kaleidoscope project in which CRDI participates. The aim of the project is linking heritage photography with new technologies, in order to discover life in the fifties through the iconographic legacy and at the same time to enhance the citizen interest in heritage.

After the publication made in the last number of the Girona Photographers collection, and as a result of the research carried out in the CRDI, our knowledge about the association is already considerable. That's why a gathering with different AFIC protagonists is proposed to establish a debate about the photography and the activity of the association.

Participants for the talk together: Josep Clara, Joan Roura, Jordi Colomer, Joan Boladeras, Josep Vila, Marcel Prat.

An increasing number of Swiss institutions holding audiovisual media are mobilizing for UNESCO World Day for Audiovisual Heritage. Around the date of 27 October, conferences, screenings, open doors, workshops, exhibitions and a Home Movie Day will be offered throughout Switzerland.

臺灣音樂館近年來在文化部「重建臺灣音樂史」政策的支持下，逐漸成為推動臺灣音樂典藏及研究工作的領頭羊，今年是我們連續第三年響應世界影音遺產日舉辦系列活動。我們於2016年加入了IAML底下的RISM計畫，今年6月亦加入了IAML成為機構型會員，10月25日將邀請IAML前任會長、RILM現任主席Barbara Mackenzie女士介紹IAML及其底下的RILM計畫，並在這天召集臺灣其他擁有音樂特色典藏的館所一同成立「臺灣音樂策略聯盟」，期透過系統性整合各地特色音樂資源，將臺灣豐富多元的音樂資源介紹給全世界。

The Taiwan Music Institute has gradually become the leader for the promotion of Taiwanese music archives and research under the policy of “Rebuilding Taiwanese Music History”, supported by the Ministry of Culture. This is our third year to hold the series of events in response to the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage. In 2016, we joined the RISM project at the IAML. This June we became the institutional member of IAML. On Oct. 25, we are going to invite the former president of IAML and current chair of RILM, Barbara Mackenzie, to introduce the IAML and the RISM project. On the same day, we will gather other Taiwanese organizations that have their own musical collection, to establish “Taiwan Music Organizations’ Strategic Alliance (TMOSA)”. Through a systematic integration of featured music resources, we will be able to introduce the abundance of Taiwanese music resources to the world.

Eye takes part in UNESCO’s World Day for Audiovisual Heritage on 27 October. The day is organised annually since 2005 to highlight the importance of preservation and restoration of film. Admission to Eye’s permanent presentation Panorama is free. Panorama presents the history of film in an interactive way designed to appeal to young and old, devoting special attention to pre-cinema devices. At 15.00 in Cinema 2 there will also be a free screening of two short films from 1912 and 1913 that were considered lost, with an introduction and live musical accompaniment.
UNESCO World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, 27 October, Eye Filmmuseum, IJpromenade 1, Amsterdam, eyefilm.nl

- The Panorama on Eye’s ground floor is a permanent presentation of film devices that mark major moments in the history of cinema. The display includes a so-called Mitchell camera that was used to make classic Hollywood films and a Mutoscope showing Charlie Chaplin’s The Waiter. The presentation also takes you past 360°, a space in which you are surrounded by almost one hundred film clips from Eye’s collection, mini cinemas with comfortable three seaters, and the FlipBook and the Green Screen, where you can make a ‘thumb cinema’ and play a role in a film scene. The Panorama also offers unique pre-cinema devices and a film quiz especially for this day. Panorama is open from 10.00-19.00h; special programme from 11.00-17.00h.

- Free screening: In 2018 Eye received an extraordinary gift from a private collector which included a number of film cans. Eye researchers were able to identify the contents as two films by Alfred Machin from 1912 and 1913 that were considered lost. The two short films are De droppel bloed (also known as The Red Stain, FR/NL, 1913) and L'histoire de Minna Claessens (BE, 1912). Eye curator Elif Rongen will talk about the detective work that is involved before collection specialists are able to establish what it is they have before them.

15.00 De droppel bloed and L’histoire de Minna Claessens with live musical accompaniment by Martin de Ruiter


- hunt, film quiz, remarkable cinema devices: There is a hunt throughout the entire museum building for children from the age of 7. The hunt is packed with optical illusions, fun assignments and a quiz. Collect your guide and pencil from the front desk and go on a journey of discovery at Eye. The answers are to be found on eyefilm.nl/kids. Eye’s collection specialists will be present in the Panorama to test your film knowledge and to show you a number of special devices from our collection, such as the smallest projector ever made (the Micro-Ciné) and a hand-operated film projector (Walturdaw).

In celebration of UNESCO's "World Day for Audiovisual Heritage", the Hong Kong Film Archive is presenting a newly digitally-restored masterpiece, Butterfly and Red Pear Blossom.  The film holds a special place in the history of Hong Kong cinema.  Released in 1959 at the height of the 1950s golden era, the film was directed by Lee Tit -  one of the luminaries of that era.  The 1950s was also a particularly fruitful period for Cantonese opera films and Lee rode on the surge, working with Sin Fung Ming Opera Troupe to reach an even higher artistic level in its superb integration of Cantonese opera and film.  Butterfly and Red Pear Blossom was written by Tong Tik-sang, one of the greatest librettists in Cantonese opera history, who elevated the medium by incorporating classic literature into his works.

Butterfly and Red Pear Blossom is also one of the masterpieces in the Archive’s flagship programme ‘100 Must-See Hong Kong Movies’. The restored version was premiered at the Grand Theatre of Hong Kong Cultural Centre on 4 September 2019 and will be screened again at the Cinema of the Archive on 27 October, the 'World Day for Audiovisual Heritage', to raise public awareness of the importance of preserving Hong Kong's audio-visual heritage.

In 2005, UNESCO established World Audiovisual Heritage Day to raise public opinion awareness about the need to safeguard and preserve audiovisual material, which is a very important legacy for future generations. For the occasion, Cineteca Italiana presents two works created seventy years ago and recently restored by the Fondazione Cineteca Italiana: on the film "The Dynamite Brothers" by Nino Pagot a photochemical restoration was carried out in 35mm, while on the film "The Last Supper" by Luigi Giachino has been operated a digital restoration in 2k by MICLab.

Home Movie Day and Night: The 24-Hour Marathon is a webcast that will take place on October 27th, 2019 and will coincide with the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage. A full day of home movies will be compiled with home movies from every time zone.

On October 27th, home movies will be webcast online on YouTube for the full 24-hours of the day. As the day progresses, viewers will be able to follow along with the program as it moves around the world. The project manager will work with a team of curators who will compile hour-long segments from archives, collections, and individuals showing home movies from places throughout the time zone. The curatorial team will communicate with archives from partner organizations within each region to produce a video program that showcases the range of home movies and the preservation efforts that have been undertaken by the archives. The end result will be a monumental collage film that will highlight the differences and similarities among home movie practices across different cultures. In addition the webcast, venues will be recruited to host screenings of the video (either the full 24 hours or significant portions of it).

Curators and contributors to Home Movie Day and Night: The 24-Hour Marathon have been encouraged to find films that show how home movies depict life in places where they were created and what they can show about the individuals and cultures that inspired them. They should show how amateur films can be both intimate and global at the same time—showing what is unique to a place, but also universal. As we move around the world during the webcast, viewers will move through time, crisscrossing the 20th and 21st centuries experiencing each moment as it occurred.

Un programme avec des films historiques des Fêtes des Vignerons depuis 1905, une reportage de Claude et Jean-Pierre Goretta sur la production et la répression de l'Absinthe dans le Val de Travers et des Ciné-Journal Suisse; encadré par une discussion avec l'historien Juri Auderset qui a édité un livre sur la politique et la régie fédérale des alcools, modéré par Severin Rüegg. Adaption musicale par le pianiste André Desponds.

Digital Directions brings together people who care about Australia’s cultural heritage in the digital age. Australian and international keynote speakers join the brightest minds in the GLEAM (Galleries, Libraries, Educators, Archives & Museums) sector to share the latest insights, ideas and solutions as we jointly embrace digital innovation and its potential for the future of our collections.

This year, Digital Directions will be headlined by world video game expert Jon-Paul Dyson (The Strong Museum of Play) as keynote speaker. Other speakers include Bill Peck (Chief Technology Officer, Twist Bioscience), Claire Evans and Ana Tiquia (Grumpy Sailor), Creative technologist Elisa Lee, and Alain Dufaux (EPFL).

World Day for Audiovisual Heritage. Archival Screening Night has been the centerpiece of every Association of Moving Image Archivists (AMIA) conference since 1991. For the first time ever, this event usually available only to AMIA members is being made accessible to the public. Now, everyone can see the incredible, strange, astonishing, hilarious, and curious treasures from the world’s moving image archives. Composed of 22 films and videos from archives ranging from Rochester to Alaska, Hawaii, Israel, the Netherlands, and back, this program has something for everyone. This cinematic Cabinet of Wonders features a wonderful promotion for a lost Thai film, a bizarre antidrug commercial with Alice in Wonderland, a banned experimental film from Albania, Josephine Baker dancing the Charleston in wooden clogs, a commercial to buy your own Stonewall action figures, and many more.

A chance to see all four of Truffaut’s Doinel comedies plus his short Antoine et Colette following the life of his character Antoine Doinel. Each film will have a short introduction and there will be plenty of time for discussions and reflections. This is an idea that I can only find a record of once before and that was in New York!

£45 to include lunch, snacks, a certificate of attendance and a celebratory drink.

To mark the UNESCO World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, TIFF is proud to present a free screening of Julian Roffman's 1959 Canadian cult classic, The Bloody Brood: a beatnik crime-drama starring Peter Falk.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with author Peter Roffman and film producer Jason Pichonsky.

Ireland's national broadcaster RTE  will screen a documentary looking at the legacy of Father Jack Delaney, a Roman Catholic parish priest in inner city Dublin in the 1930s and 40, and an avid amateur filmmaker. With contributions from film director Jim Sheridan and IFI staff amongst others, the documentary explores the role of the amateur filmmaker in creating an historical and social record of otherwise documented places and events and the importance of archivists in preserving and disseminating this type of material.

Screening of the newly digitized film Karl Fredrik regerar, one of the few openly political films of the 1930's in Sweden.

Fleuron de l'industrie neuchâteloise jusque dans les années 1970, l'entreprise Dubied, fondée en 1867 à Couvet, recourut tôt et souvent au cinéma. On sait notamment qu'Emile Cohl réalisa, au début des années 1920, quatre films publicitaires vantant les machines à tricoter neuchâteloises, alors exportées dans le monde entier. Une belle industrie neuchâteloise fait ainsi partie d'un ensemble de films 35 et 16mm à visée publicitaire, mais également commémorative ou didactique. Ce corpus illustre l'importance de Dubied à un niveau cantonal et national, au plan économique, social et identitaire. Séance présentée par Aude Joseph, responsable du Département audiovisuel de la Bibliothèque de la Ville de La Chaux-de-Fonds, et accompagnée au piano par Enrico Camponovo.
