Conferences and Day Schools

Screen Archive South East organises conferences and day schools on its work in relation to screen heritage and media culture. In 1997 and 2005 presented day schools for University of the Third Age. In 1998, the Screen Archive mounted the “Will Day and Early English Cinema Colloquium” at the University of Brighton with participants from all of the public sector film archives in the UK and Eire and representatives from the UK community of early film historians. In 2002 it presented a one day seminar entitled, “Off-Screen: the Moving Image in Museums, Libraries and Archives” at Brighton Pavilion. Through presentations and discussion, it examined the use of moving images by the MLA sector. In 2005, the Screen Archive staged a symposium on the artists’ moving image, emphasising the role of archive collections within the creation of new work.

In June 2012 Screen Archive South East will host the Domitor Conference in Brighton.
DOMITOR, is the international society for the study of early cinema. The conference will focus on "Performing New Media, 1890-1915."
