Dear friends and colleagues,

 

I’m writing to invite you all to “Postcolonial Film and the Archive:
History, Theory, Practice,” a free, online symposium next Friday, October 16
(10 am Pacific / 1 pm Eastern / 7 pm Central European)! Bringing together
scholars to examine media from across the globe, this event will explore the
historical, cultural, and political value and use of colonial and
ethnographic films in connection to cultural heritage, preservation, and
appropriation. From reexamining the ways in which archives and their
materials are mobilized to tell certain narratives and not others, and the
complexity of preserving and researching these materials in varying
contexts, to interrogating the ontological and indexical status of film as
memory artifacts, this symposium will raise questions about cultural
heritage, ownership, historiography, and gaps and exclusions in classical
film history approaches to the study of “postcolonial” film.
