BLACK SCREEN HERITAGE CONFERENCE

Film London in partnership with Imperial War Museum and Yorkshire Film
Archive, supported by Skillset, invite you to attend the Black Screen
Heritage Conference.

The Black Screen Heritage Conference will be the first event to bring
together film archive professionals from across the country to discuss
the issues involved in creating accessible collections relating to
Black British heritage, share knowledge and create a map of activity
in this area.

With presentations from both archivists and Black cultural
organisations, the day will offer ideas for approaching key issues:
from finding footage, to cataloguing, and working collaboratively with
communities to create new ways of accessing the material. We hope that
we can help to create the groundwork for a more co-ordinated approach
across the sector.

Who should attend?
Moving image archivists and curators from all public and commercial
collections who wish to reach a broader audience and keep their
collections relevant to today's communities; non-specialist archivists
from collections holding film wishing to open up their film resources;
black cultural organisations interested in working with film; film
curators keen to expand their programmes and reach new audiences;
community arts workers and audience development managers.

Time: Conference 9.30am - 6.00pm. Additional Screening Programme
