Moving Image Archiving and the Academy
A MeCCSA Practice Section Conference
Supported by the BUFVC
Saturday, 15 March 2008, University of Leeds
Call for Registration
Following on from MeCCSA’s Future of Screen Heritage symposium held in
September 2007, this conference reassesses aspects of the institutional and
intellectual links which exist between our film archives and our
universities, and explores how they might develop and strengthen.
Such links now seem woven into the fabric of scholarly activity around
research and curation of moving image material. New questions now
challenge us, from the implications of digitisation on collections and
access, to the challenges of copyright and legal deposit. Join us to
discuss these.
Confirmed keynote speakers:
Charles Barr (Washington University in St. Louis)
Nicholas Pronay (University of Leeds)
Confirmed presentations from:
Claude Mussou (Institut National de l’Audiovisuel, Paris)
Johan Oomen (Nederlands Instituut voor Beeld en Geluid, Hilversum)
