Audiovisual materials enable us to observe events we cannot attend, to hear voices from the past that can no longer speak, and to craft stories that inform and entertain. They thus represent important storehouses of humanity’s collective knowledge for current and future generations to build on and an important transgenerational link and a window to our collective past, present and future. In an increasingly globalized work audiovisual content is therefore vital in helping us to understand the world and engage with our fellow human beings.
