Symposium

The Symposium will explore various approaches to “archival artistic films”: focusing on the social context, on a range of geopolitical issues, but also on the materiality of images, degradation of the medium, multiplicity of formats as markers of their time, and more. What role can both film and non-film archives play in a creative context? How are these positioned at the confluence of conservation, film restitution/exhumation, and support for creative work? Questions that will, we hope, lead to fruitful discussions!
