Workshop | Transnational Film Archives and the Politics of Exclusion
The workshop, held in collaboration with Sinema Transtopia, delved into the complexities of transnational film archiving within the contested category of 'German film' and the unique challenges of archiving films in post-colonial contexts. It addressed the politics of film archiving, the influence of national institutions and frameworks, and the material aspects of film preservation, with a particular focus on the challenges posed by working with celluloid.
