Dear friends and colleagues,
Im 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.
