2019 FIAF Symposium
Session 8: The Community of Film Archives, and Conclusing Remarks
Lausanne, 9 April 2019
The digital transition has transformed every aspect of archive activity, but it has surely upset how we access films the most. Catalogues become visible as platforms, allowing for a new circulation of data. This unprecedented visibility may provide film libraries a more central position in the cultural landscape, but in return it requires a deep rethinking of the relationship between archives and rights holders.
