Registrations
From 29 – 31 May 2022, Eye Filmmuseum, the University of Amsterdam (UvA), Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis (ASCA), and the Association of Moving Image Archivists (AMIA) will present the 7th Eye International Conference on ‘Global Audiovisual Archiving: Exchange of Knowledge and Practices’.
Registration for the Eye International Conference 2022 on Global Audiovisual Archiving: Exchange of Knowledge and Practices is now open. You can access the program here (PDF file) and register via www.eyefilm.nl/conference.
The annual Eye International Conference is an opportunity for scholars, archivists, curators, researchers, filmmakers, students, artists, and film enthusiasts from across the world to gather and explore contemporary professional and academic issues affecting audiovisual heritage today.
The 2022 edition will focus on the imbalance or current misrepresentation of global audiovisual heritage holdings, looking in particular at the alarming scarcity of audiovisual heritage from the Global South in the digital space. We will provide speakers and participants a platform to encourage knowledge exchange between scholars and archivists from different parts of the world, and different archival traditions. The conference offers a space to consider the impact of geographical location, the availability of resources, technical and digital gaps, and different audiovisual traditions. We will discuss archival challenges and think together about new models for collaboration.
The goal of the conference is to broaden the knowledge and connections within the global archival community, leading to new insights on the status of film heritage and archiving in different parts of the world.
This year, we offer a hybrid conference format to accommodate everyone. There is a different registration fee for on-site and virtual participants.
As an attendee of the Eye International Conference, you are invited to join Meet the Archive, a public program highlighting recent projects from the Eye Collection, on Saturday 28th May, and the Open House at the Eye Collection Centre on Wednesday 1st June.
