Dr Frank Gray, Director of Screen Archive South East, said: “Preservation is at the heart of all archives. This is particularly important for screen archives as an essential aspect of cultural history. So much of our screen heritage is at risk of being lost forever for a host of reasons, from the disappearance of film and videotape as media to the way people sometimes wipe digital files. Our Screen Heritage provides a wonderful opportunity to uncover, safeguard and share an overlooked history of film-making in the region."
