Activating the Archive: Audio-Visual Collections and Civic Engagement, Political Dissent and Societal Change
2018 EYE International Conference
Activating the Archive: Audio-Visual Collections and Civic Engagement, Political Dissent and Societal Change
Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 26 to 29 May 2018
Hosted by EYE Filmmuseum
The 2017/18 academic year marks the fifteenth anniversary of the Master’s in Preservation and Presentation of the Moving Image (P&P), a programme of the University of Amsterdam in collaboration with EYE Filmmuseum, the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision, the Living Media Arts foundation, and others. EYE teams up with the University of Amsterdam and Sound and Vision in organising a special edition of its annual International Conference, to celebrate this milestone.
The conference will serve as a platform for exchange on developments in the fields of audio-visual archiving and presentation. It will consider those developments among others – but not exclusively –from the perspective of those with a connection to the P&P programme. The conference will also be an occasion for P&P alumni to reconnect, and for students and staff of audio-visual archiving and curation programmes worldwide to get in touch and to reflect together on past and future endeavours.
