Are you an emerging filmmaker looking to creatively reuse archive film in your practice? This session will introduce the Make Film History project and how to access 300 archive films from the BBC, BFI and more. We’ll showcase new archive- inspired shorts made through a DocFest film challenge, and discuss archive-inspired storytelling with a panel of archive producers and filmmakers screening work at this year’s festival.

Speakers: Alex Wilson (ENO, Strike: Uncivil War), Lamees Almakkawy (Dancing Palestine), Tetiana Symon (Witnesses, Captivity that Kills)

Chair: Shane O'Sullivan (Head of Film and Photography, Kingston University) and Ciara Chambers (Head of Film & Screen Media, University College Cork)

Supported by Kingston University and University College Cork and funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), part of UK Research and Innovation.
