Digital technology seems to have been the driving force as a number of digitization projects have been initiated around Europe with mixed results (Images for the Futures, BBC Digital Media, European Film Gateway). At the same time, an increasing number of scholars in film and media studies began considering the importance of engaging with film heritage. Also in this case the attention and the interests have been generated by the potentialities that digital technology offers in restoring and providing access to collections. This focus often seems to obscure underlying questions and concerns related to the relationship between access, conservation and preservation. To this end the meeting seeks to examine three fundamental question: Should policymakers support film heritage preservation and audience development with more conviction? Why does it matter? Why might it be important to systematically integrate archival discourse into Film and Media Studies? What are the practical initiatives that archives, universities and policy-makers need to focus on and support?
