Join us for a special live cinema event in collaboration with the Prelinger Archives who has scanned over 3 million feet of film and uploaded over 2,000 items, while collectively developing practices of inclusive and reparative description to allow multiple avenues into a vast trove of moving images. This curated screening will highlight rarities and treasures within the collection that have inspired, delighted and bewildered staff. The speakers, all Prelinger Archives staff, will each share experiences from the project as footage is screened and will speak to working with a unique collection that contains a wide array of materials (outtakes, home movies, warped films).
Live cinema is the result of artistic and curatorial collaboration, producing a screening experience made up of both live interventions and film exhibition. Live cinema is rooted in multi-platform partnership, bringing together exhibitors, artists and audiences for a bespoke cinematic experience.
