Hi all,
We're just two weeks away from the Film is Fabulous event in Leicester, so I thought I'd say a few things about the event here. Some may have missed the post I made in 'Out of the Archive'.
Details of the event and how to attend are here:
filmisfabulous.org.uk/
I'm hoping that the Film is Fabulous initiative will assist film collectors in cataloguing their collections and in doing so, help to preserve rare or unique film.
In the coming week there will be a publicity push outlining some of the titles that have come to light thus far. This includes a lost silent film made in 1919 and some 1960's comedy and drama. In addition, we hope to be able to announce other finds with film collectors in the days leading up to the event and on the day of the event itself.
If you're a film collector planning to attend, you'll be in good company. There is a dedicated dealer room with 8mm and 16mm films on sale. In the Collections room, film collectors will be offering film and television titles from their own collections on 9.5mm, 16mm and 35mm, as well as projection equipment. There will also be a bring and buy table here, always popular at film events, so if you have anything you wish to sell on, bring it with you.
In screen one there will be a series of panel discussions throughout the day on the subject of the hows, whys and wherefores of archiving, the importance of television programmes on film and film making, the transition of film to digital and the resurgence of film as an acquisition format.
Elsewhere there will be screenings from super8, 16mm and 35mm, culminating in the first UK theatrical screening of Rob Murphy's film, 'Splice Here'.
