| Summary: |
This symposium is to provide an opportunity for stakeholders to
discuss what needs to be done to ensure the long-term future of our
moving image and screen heritage. The hope is to clarify understanding
of issues facing us and to achieve consensus and common goals where
possible. The debates about funding and about practical strategy can
then take place.
Issues to be discussed include archiving policy and selection,
intellectual property and copyright, documentation collection, accessibility,
and institutional models. Currently these issues are bound up with
funding levels and institutional fragmentation; responsibilities
are currently shared between the lead body, the British Film Institute,
and others including the BBC and regional film archives. The new
Secretary of State, James Purnell, is encouraging a full debate
about screen heritage including this event, the intention of which
is to bring stakeholders and interested parties together to begin
a process of convergence and understanding.
Confirmed speakers include Amanda Nevill (British Film Institute);
Adam Lee (BBC), Murray Weston (British Universities Film and Video
Council) and Lynne Brindley (British Library).
Registration is free and places are limited. Refreshments are provided
free, morning and afternoon, and lunch is available for £10.00.
Limited car parking will be available.
