Накратко на български

Обменът на филми между архиви във Франция и Южна Америка от 1945 до края на 50-те години разкрива кои заглавия са пътували през Атлантика. Това помага да се разбере как тези институции са формирали историята на киното и достъпа до филмите.

Film Heritage and Archival Practices: Past and Present Transcontinental Encounters

TRANSARCHIVES aimed to study the interactions and exchanges of films between the French Cinematheque and the Cinematheques of Buenos Aires, Montevideo and Sao Paulo from the immediate aftermath of the Second World War until the end of the 1950s. During these years, several institutions that were part of the International Federation of Film Archives (FIAF) entered an exchange circuit that had not been researched in depth. Film archives and cinematheques have tended to be studied regarding their conservation and preservation policies. However, they have played an important part in the circulation of film, the construction of cannons and the writing of film history through both the organization of their own screenings and the selection of films to be screened in partner institutions. Problems with copyrights holders did not help to keep visible the lists of the films that entered this circulation circuit. However, there are still many administrative documents held in distant archives that could help in the writing of this history. The main objectives were: 1. To cross documents from the archives of the participant cinematheques and those of the FIAF to retrieve the titles which have crossed the Atlantic Ocean during this decade. 2. To analyse the interests behind the interactions between these institutions. 3. To explore the cultural impact that the contributions made by each institution had on local screens and has today on the current availability of these films. 4. To acknowledge the efforts of these institutions to disseminate films in remote institutions at a time in which the travelling of films required a difficult set of logistics to be implemented. Becoming aware of the interactions between these heritage institutions allow us to reflect more broadly on the cultural links that have been implemented at a key moment in history, in which a divided world was struggling to recover. This historical information would help us promote a more critical response to today’s cultural influences and exchanges, and therefore evaluate their ability to build bridges between distant societies.

Цел на проекта

The main question that guides this research project is: what can Europe learn about its past and present film archiving and heritage practices through collections kept abroad? Focusing on Latin America, the objective of this Fellowship is to identify how the dissemination of European film heritage informs past and present archival practices, and the understanding of both European identity and its representations. It will analyse a decade (1948–1959) of circulation of films between both continents shaped by the creation of Cinematheques affiliated with the International Federation of Film Archives (FIAF). It will concentrate, more specifically, on the film exchanges between the Cinémathèque Française and the Cinematheques of Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay. Nowadays, especially for younger generations, it is difficult to imagine the way films travelled in the 1950s. To gain a better understanding of why these four institutions entered this exchange circuit, it is necessary to analyse the actual corpus, especially now that digital technologies are making these films visible again. Adopting an inter-archival and multilingual methodology, which expands cross-continentally, this Fellowship will emphasise the transnational dimensions of film and to highlight the common connections between archival collections around the world. This innovative approach will demonstrate the value of analysing the history of exhibition abroad to review and complement the European film histories written until now. A thorough study of these channels of European film dissemination will also help to understand past European film archiving and heritage practices in order to assist present institutional and policy-making decisions related to film preservation, exhibition and accessibility more broadly.
