30 March - 19 October 2023
FIAF Commissions’ Thursday Online Workshops (2023)
This is a new series of online workshops initiated by the FIAF Commissions, covering a wide range of topics discussed in FIAF. They are free of charge and are conducted in English only.
ONLINE ONLY
30 March - 19 October 2023
FIAF Commissions’ Thursday Online Workshops (2023)
Organized by: FIAF
Contact:   info@fiafnet.org 

n June 2022, the FIAF Commissions announced a new series of online workshops covering  a wide range of topics discussed in FIAF. The first three of these workshops, hosted by the Cataloguing and Documentation Commission, took place between September and November 2022.
The basic idea is rooted in what libraries have done for some time now and which is called Library Carpentry. Rather than inviting external experts, trained people from libraries teach each other basic concepts which will also revolve around data literacy (introductions to Open Refine, Python, GitHub etc.). We could expand that format and think of other ones to accompany this very technical focus.


We also want to address current debates revolving around sustainability, long term archiving and online presentation. How can we digitise, archive and present digital media by taking questions of rights, formats and the environment into consideration?


The workshops are planned as virtual events for the moment and might later be extended to in-person events.


Possible formats include presentations plus a panel discussion and hands-on teaching. More can be developed as we gain experience. We don’t aim at experts. Usually, no previous experience is required. Advanced levels are marked as such and will provide knowledge for those who want to explore topics into more depths. The number of participants vary depending on the nature of the specific workshop, but is generally be limited to enhance knowledge transfer and discussion. No fee is charged, but participants have to register and places are limited. Information on how and when to register will be posted on the FIAF website.

The course is aimed at archive curators who need a comprehensive grounding in audiovisual technology in order to better manage preservation, digitisation and access, as well as film technicians in need of a solid introduction to digital technology, and digital technicians wishing to improve their understanding of traditional film technology. Sessions will be conducted in English only.

Presentation of the course


Photos, posters, press clippings, 3D objects, sheet music and many other materials are collected, catalogued, digitised and made accessible in and by film archives. These diverse documents are commonly grouped under the term “film-related materials”. However, each of these types of materials requires a completely different approach in terms of collection, digitization, and also cataloguing, and most of all, requires specialized and trained archivists. In addition, these departments within the film institutions are usually staffed with fewer people than the film departments. 


With this workshop, the CDC would like to offer a place and framework in which precisely the specific issues of film-related materials can be discussed openly and experiences exchanged. In doing so, we will primarily focus on cataloguing. Input lectures will present both projects from film heritage institutions and new technical developments. In an interactive session, we then want to take an in-depth look at value lists and, in turn, incorporate the results into the CDC's resources so that they can be shared publicly.



Speakers
The classes (a mixture of lectures, workshops and round-table discussions) will be taught by experts from the global network of FIAF archives, and other distinguished professionals in a relevant field. All classes will be conducted in English only.



Schedule
Day 1: 10am to 5pm (Lectures)


Daniela Tamm (Bundesarchiv) on cataloguing censorship cards and presenting them online
Helena Ekholm, Krister Collin, Sonny Mattsson (Swedish Film Institute) on their photo digitization project
Eva Hielscher (DFF) on dealing with sheet music in a film collection
Jan Holmberg (Ingmar Bergman Archive) introduces the Ingmar Bergman Archive


Leon van Wissen (University of Amsterdam/Eye Filmmuseum) on using Linked Data on movie posters in the Netherlands
Torbjorn Pedersen (National Library of Norway) on cataloguing different material types in a joint database
Sven Lepa (Estonian National Archives) on pilot projects of using Artificial Intelligence on their collection


Day 2: 10am to 12am (Workshops)


Discussion in smaller groups according to various topics, e.g. censorship/paper files, 3-D-Objects, how to use Linked Open Data and/or Artificial Intelligence in film-related collections.



Registration


Applications for registration are open until 7 April. Successful candidates will be notified by email by 20 April. The course will be offered free of charge, and five scholarships are available for those who need financial support.


Participants are expected to make their own travel and accommodation arrangements.

The structure of the Film Preservation Studies master’s degree course approaches cinema through its material nature and technological genealogy. The first two modules explore the photochemical origin of film images, and the subsequent ones focus on the peculiarities of the magnetic and digital formats. These branches together form a common set of specific knowledge: each image and each sound poses unique questions about its identification, degradation, preservation and cataloguing, but also about aesthetic and ethical issues, about the future of cinema, its sense of history and the profession of the archivist.


The content systematisation and working methods proposed by the course do not, however, lead to a simple and/or simplified understanding of the material under study. Quite the opposite, in fact; at the end of their journey, students are invited to explore the ‘grand memory of images’ from a complex and paradoxical perspective. And this is just as it should be, because even when the path to follow is perfectly defined, the journey of an archivist always leads eventually to the labyrinth of images of our era. The greatest treasure we could ever inherit.
