On the occasion of the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, the 8th edition of the festival Film Restored will take place from 25 to 29 October at Deutsche Kinemathek in Berlin. This year's edition explores gaps in film history and material, as well as absence as a narrative and aesthetic device. The programme highlights recently restored films, some of them considered lost for many decades, and sheds light on works that have received little recognition in film history. The festival comprises 17 screenings with films from 13 countries and 4 continents

Understanding of the fundamental notions of audiovisual heritage and the challenges of its conservation and restoration.
La edición de este año es más ambiciosa que nunca y no se limita a las proyecciones en horario habitual. Por la mañana tendrán lugar dos talleres divulgativos: ¿Qué es una filmoteca?, sobre la vulnerabilidad del cine en soporte fotoquímico, de los retos de la conservación y del origen del cine valenciano, y Las imágenes de los recuerdos, un viaje en el tiempo por la València del pasado en el que un público intergeneracional interactúa con los fragmentos proyectados en la pantalla.
18 h: celebramos el centenario del 9,5 mm con la proyección de 9 ½, una iniciativa de la asociación Inédits junto a Home Movies- Archivio Nazionale del Film di Famiglia, realizada íntegramente con películas en ese soporte de cine no profesional. Una lírica compilación de imágenes filmadas por cineastas amateur de todo el planeta a lo largo de estos cien años.
20 h: sesión doble con la proyección de La Montagne Infidèle, un cortometraje inédito de Jean Epstein recuperado en 2021 por la Filmoteca de Catalunya, y el drama rural Voluntad, una obra impulsada, producida e interpretada por Agustín Caballero en 1928. Antes de su proyección se presentará el libro Voluntad. Agustín Caballero fent cinema a Carcaixent, 1928. Música de piano en directo compuesta e interpretada por Arcadi Valiente.
A lo largo de todo el día se podrá vivir la experiencia de entrar en una cámara oscura gigante instalada delante del edificio Rialto para entender mejor los principios técnicos que hicieron posible la aparición de la fotografía y, más tarde, del cine. Junto a ella, podrá visitarse una pequeña exposición que pretende acercar a la ciudadanía las nociones fundamentales del patrimonio audiovisual y los desafíos de su conservación y restauración. Todas las proyecciones y actividades son gratuitas.
This year's edition is more ambitious than ever and is not limited to screenings at the usual times. In the morning there will be two workshops: What is a film library?, on the vulnerability of film on photochemical support, the challenges of conservation and the origin of Valencian cinema, and The images of memories, a journey through time through the València of the past in which an intergenerational audience interacts with the fragments projected on the screen.
6 p.m.: we celebrate the centenary of 9.5 mm with the screening of 9 ½, an initiative of the association Inédits together with Home Movies- Archivio Nazionale del Film di Famiglia, made entirely with films on this non-professional film support. A lyrical compilation of images filmed by amateur filmmakers from all over the world over the last 100 years.
8 p.m.: a very special double session in which we present to the public an unpublished short film by Jean Epstein, La Montagne Infidèle, recovered in 2021 by the Filmoteca de Catalunya, and the rural drama Voluntad, promoted, produced and performed by Agustín Caballero in 1928. Before the screening, the book Voluntad. Agustín Caballero fent cinema a Carcaixent, 1928 will be presented.
Throughout the day, visitors can enjoy the experience of entering a giant camera obscura installed in front of the Rialto building to better understand the technical principles that made possible the emergence of photography and, later, of cinema.
A small exhibition will also be on display, which aims to give the public a better understanding of the fundamental notions of audiovisual heritage and the challenges of its conservation and restoration. All screenings and activities are free of charge.

Retrospective is a regular series showcasing bodies of work from an extended period of activity by filmmakers of different eras.
Devoted to the region’s film history, contributions and movements within the industries in Asia, the platform focuses on particular profiles, themes and aesthetics to allow audiences to experience past and ongoing cinematic transformations.
On the occasion of 100 years since the birth of singular Japanese director Seijun Suzuki (1923-2017), the Asian Film Archive presents a selection from his vast and colourful filmography.
The seven featured films draw attention to two significant points in Suzuki’s career. The first looks at the gritty, rambunctious crime and gangster films he made at the Nikkatsu studios in the 1960s and his collaborations with action star Jo Shishido. The four works selected from this period start from 1963, with the wild and uproarious Detective Bureau 2-3: Go to Hell, Bastards! and Youth of the Beast—the latter regarded as his breakthrough work and a key influence on the yakuza genre. 1964’s Gate of Flesh is a harsh, yet visually dynamic post-war drama. Lastly, the outrageous and stylish Branded to Kill (1967), notorious for causing Suzuki’s dismissal from Nikkatsu and subsequent blacklisting by the industry.
Making his debut in the mid-50s, Suzuki was a contract director for B-movies, quick and cheap flicks typically screened after the more expensive, prestige pictures. He overcame the gruelling conditions and meagre resources thrown at him, creatively transforming conventions into opportunities for play and experimentation, pushing the form further and further with each new film. Burned by the fallout with Nikkatsu, Suzuki withdrew from cinema. He continued to work in television and only returned to film a decade later.
The second part of this programme represents Suzuki’s comeback with the Taisho trilogy: Zigeunerweisen (1980), Kagero-za (1981) and Yumeji (1991). Produced independently, these works are loosely connected by being set during the Taisho era (1912-1926), an explosive period of artistic and intellectual activity in Japan’s history. Hallucinatory, spectral and dreamlike, these austere masterpieces—markedly different from his earlier career—are nonetheless still bursting with ideas and cinematic fervour.
Energised by the commercial and critical success of his later works, Suzuki continued to make films until the mid-2000s and even had a career as an actor. In 2017, he passed away at the age 93. The legacy of Seijun Suzuki’s body of work is that of an artist whose brilliance and verve could not be restrained. Working within the limitations of structures, his career represents a lifelong mission to reinvent the ecstatic possibilities of the filmic medium.

Národní filmový archiv, Prague will celebrate World Day for Audiovisual Heritage during the Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival with the screening of recently identified Brazilian documentary film Amazonas, maior rio do mondo, produced in 1918. This film, which had been considered lost, was shot by Silvino Santos and is a key oeuvre for the history of South American film history, but also a colonial testimony that indirectly speaks about what it conceals. Curator Jay Weissberg from Pordenone Silent Film Festival identified the film during his research visit to the Národní filmový archiv, Prague. Later on, the Cinemateca Brasileira confirmed this finding.
The Cinemateca Brasileira is currently emerging from the extremely hard period which almost led to its liquidation under the Bolsonaro administration. This is also why it is necessary for this film to be symbolically returned to its country of origin. Cinemateca Brasileira will undertake further screenings of this documentary, enriching it with appropriate contexts and offering a critical reading of it.

Lizzy's exceptional work to exploring previously unreleased footage led to the discovery material. Her efforts not only played a crucial role in shaping the production but also earned her the prestigious Jane Mercer Researcher of the Year FOCAL Award in 2023.

The Yale Film Archive presents ''Boleyn & Beyond: ELIZABETH.''
25th anniversary screening!
Cate Blanchett is England’s Queen Elizabeth I—daughter of Anne Boleyn—early in her reign in a drama of “style, passion, and intelligence” (Russell Smith) “steeped in rich, saturated colors and emotions” (Roger Ebert). Lavish design, gorgeous cinematography, and a majestic supporting cast earned ELIZABETH twelve BAFTA nominations and five wins.
Presented as part of "Boleyn & Beyond", a two-film series presented in conjunction with the Yale University Library exhibition "Anne Boleyn: Life and Legend" (curated by Yale undergraduate Hannah Oblak '24), on view in Yale's Sterling Memorial Library from October 16, 2023, through April 21, 2024. The "Boleyn & Beyond" screenings are free and open to the public, with prints from the Yale Film Archive.

Basement Tapes Day provides the public with access to vintage audio playback devices so they can listen to the home recordings on open-reel tapes, cassettes, and microcassettes that have been sitting in their attics or basements for years. The annual event is staffed by volunteers from Los Angeles’ audio preservation community — archivists, engineers, collectors, restoration experts, conservators, and graduate students from UCLA’s Media Archival Studies program.
Attendees can hear and publicly share their tapes, while learning about the history of recorded sound, common deterioration issues with magnetic audio formats, and how to best store and care for their collections. If you would like to have your tapes digitized before the event, please email [email protected] by October 16, 2023. Otherwise, bring your tapes to the LA Archives Bazaar from 1-3pm to have them inspected and played back at the event.

Opening just before World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, the Asian Film Archive will be presenting the second edition of Monographs, presented in the form of an exhibition and film programme. The interactive exhibition will feature the commssioned video essays that make use of often, archival footage, and the film screening programme will consist of films related to the written essays, including The Cloud Capped Star (1960, Ritwik Ghatak).
Monographs is a series of video and text essays on Asian cinema commissioned by the Asian Film Archive (AFA). Initially conceived during the outbreak of COVID-19 when physical screenings were disrupted, Monographs offers a critical platform for writers and thinkers to discourse upon the moving image beyond the walls of the cinema. The second edition of Monographs consists of 13 commissioned works—seven video essays and six written essays—produced in consultation with filmmaker/editor Daniel Hui and researcher/curator Matthew Barrington.
Responding to changing geological and socio-political landscapes, Monographs 2023: sinking, shifting, stirring interrogates how the environment, climate, and human and non-human relationships might be re-imagined. Evoking cycles of geological transformation, the anthology explores how cinematic representations of the environment move through cycles of dissolution, transformation and rebirth.

Screening the film It's raining on Santiago (1975) of Chilean filmmaker Helvio Soto.
To commemorate the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, Cineteca Nacional de Chile will present a special function this Thursday, October 26th at 19:00 hours, screening the film It's raining on Santiago (1975) of Chilean filmmaker Helvio Soto.
It's raining on Santiago was the first feature film telling the coup d'état of 1973, depicting torture, kidnapping and disappearances that took place in the early days of the dictatorship. The movie couldn't be premiered in Chile because it was forbidden by the military regime.
The film was shot in 1975 in France and Bulgaria, and participated Astor Piazzolla, who wrote the original score, and French actors Jean-Louis Trintignant and Annie Girardot.
The print that will be screened is preserved in the National Film Archive of Czech Republic, who gave us a 4K digital copy. To Cineteca Nacional de Chile this function marks the beginning of the work of recovering and repatriating the films of Chilean filmmaker Helvio Soto, which are mainly in France, country where he settled when he was exiled by the military dictatorship.

In the late 1960s, newsreels were an integral part of motion picture exhibition in America.
Part of the Hearst Metrotone News Collection for the celebration World Day of Audiovisual Heritage; We invite you to Explore thousands of newsreels online courtesy of the Archive and the Packard Humanities Institute.
Newsreel Spotlight: “Mexican Steppers Show Their Stuff” (5/13/1931)L -- “Contest held in Los Angeles to pick the best dancers for California City’s 150th birthday fete.”
Newsreel Spotlight: “Paris Reveals Fall Fashions!” (9/4/1950) -- Paris Fashion Week may be over, but plenty of sartorial inspiration can be found in our newsreel collection. Here, models showcase the latest designs from Christian Dior in 1950. (Note: footage does not include sound).
The UCLA Film & Television Archive and The Packard Humanities Institute are pleased to host this new website (newsreels.net) giving access to nearly 15,000 newsreel stories from the Hearst Metrotone News Collection owned by the University of California. The website is the first phase of a multi-year project to make the entire Hearst newsreel collection accessible to the public. The joint project is led by the Packard Humanities Institute, which has built nitrate film storage vaults for the Archive, and provided funding, equipment and technical support for the large scale-digitization project.
From the early teens through the late 1960s, newsreels were an integral part of motion picture exhibition in America. Although the reels were fashioned, for the most part, to be entertaining, they uniquely document the domestic and international events of their time.
The Archive is grateful to The Packard Humanities Institute for its role as the driving force in the project to share the Hearst Metrotone News Collection for research, study and public access.

Fourth conference of the"Italian Working Table on Oral Sources".
This is the fourth conference of the"Italian Working Table on Oral Sources" that has coordinated the work, starting in 2019, of conceiving, drafting and publishing the Vademecum for Oral Sources (in Italian): a reference text for those approaching oral archives. The text addresses issues related to oral archives source processing, digitization, and archival description, as well as legal issues associated with the dissemination of oral archives (privacy and copyright issues). One section is devoted to the different types of transcription.
For the first time in Italy, different institutes of the ministry, private foundations and institutes, universities, and different disciplinary associations have worked together to arrive at a shared document that allows new generations to approach oral sources with awareness and competence.
