How can you use archival film to inspire new stories and reframe the past to illuminate our lives in the current moment? This ‘in conversation with’ event will explore the creative re-use of archive film, in collaboration with the Make Film History project, which makes available archive films from the BBC, BFI National Archive, Irish Film Institute and Northern Ireland Screen for educational use by young filmmakers.
In this session, host Colm McAuliffe will interview nonfiction filmmaker Charlie Shackleton who uses archive film in his practice. The discussion will explore strategies to research and repurpose sounds and images from the past, narrative approaches to archival storytelling, as well as practical and ethical concerns. The session will also provide young filmmakers with an opportunity to access archive material in their practice to inspire new work.
Speaker: Charlie Shackleton - filmmaker
Interviewer: Colm McAuliffe - researcher, Make Film History
