Adventures with Archives - Celebration 2022 DRAFT
Adventures with Archives
With the support of the BFI, Film Hub Midlands and, during the UK Lockdowns, Arts Council England, Arts Connect and BFI Film Academy, we are delighted to showcase on this page some of the work made during the second and third seasons of our Adventures with Archives project. From Winter 2019 to present day, the project has combined archive film screenings with live performance, as well as newly composed soundtracks and 'new narratives' for and with archive film.
There's been lots of activity - both online and face to face - since Spring 2020, as we've been working with young people, aged 15 to 30, across Shropshire, Stoke, and, in partnership with The Company, Birmingham. Working alongside archivists, curators, musicians, screenwriters, poets and filmmakers, they have been researching, curating and creatively responding to a wealth of archive film, including content from our regional film archive MACE, and project partners Flicks in the Sticks.
To date, a number of these short films have been screened online, at Borderlines Film Festival, at Flatpack Film Festival, and at some local venues across the area. However, we'd really like them to be seen more widely, so if you’d like to screen some of the work at your festival or venue, please contact us via [email protected]
