AMIA’s Annual Conference brings together media professionals from around the world to address the best ways to preserve and provide access to our media heritage.
More than 650 professionals representing the world’s major media institutions gather each year for AMIA’s annual conference.
Amitabh Bachchan will be presented with the 2021 FIAF Award on 19 March. The Presentation ceremony will be live-streamed from Mumbai on 19 March at 6pm (India standard time - for the time where you are, check this). You can access the live stream of the event from the home page of the FIAF website, or direcly on YouTube. The event will feature former FIAF Award recipients Martin Scorsese and Christopher Nolan.
As we’ve all attended more virtual events this year, one of the biggest lessons we’ve learned is that our in-person schedule doesn’t always translate well into a virtual event. It’s not uncommon at AMIA to start at 8am and leave our last event after 10pm – it’s a hard schedule to follow in front of a screen!
More details about these events will follow shortly.

Our speakers, Miroslav Čuljat (Archives Programme Manager at RTE), Charlie Fairall (Videotape Engineering Advisor at the British Film Institute (BFI)) and Bruno Burtre (Business Development Consultant at NOA Archive), will be tackling the subject, providing answers to questions like:
“Knowing that it is impossible to closely examine every single second of every single item, when the archive content is in its digital form, how do we know that it is a true representation of the analogue originals?

Broadcaster archives are often rich and deep, with multi-genre collections containing a mix of in-house produced and third party content, and inevitable rights complexities and associated risk considerations.
This workshop will look at the opportunities and challenges facing broadcasters worldwide in providing archive access to a range of stakeholders with different interests – be that creative and commercial re-use by programme makers, filmmakers and journalists, or non-commercial access for the individual: students, academics and the public.
Note: This workshop will be in Spanish.
