Southampton Film Week

A collection of archive footage showing Southampton through 1920-1950, exploring representation and diversity in what we can and can't see.

“ ‘There’ but not ‘there’ ”: Challenges of representation and diversity in the archive film; a Southampton perspectiveAlways a popular element of the SFW programme, we are delighted that Wessex Film &amp; Sound Archive join us again to present this special event for the festival. 
<a href="https://www.hants.gov.uk/librariesandarchives/archives/wessex-film-sound" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Wessex Film &amp; Sound Archive</a> holds 38,000 historic film and sound items dating as far back as 1898. This film looks at a selection of amateur films made by local filmmakers during the 1920-1950 period, with a particular focus on representation and visibility of underrepresented groups. The film commentary is provided by Zoë Viney, Curator of Film at Wessex Film &amp; Sound Archive (WFSA), based in Winchester and also Postgraduate Research Student in Film at Southampton University. Zoë’s research seeks to explore gender and class in the amateur film collection of WFSA between the years of 1920-1950. 
WFSA is a regional repository for historic film and sound items from Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire. Of its 38,000 plus items there exist some 12,000 cinefilms. 
In her commentary, Zoë seeks to explore how issues of visibility, attribution and representation impact on our understanding of this regional collection and how this can serve to contribute to a wider view of amateur filmmaking in the UK. Zoë has a background in historic textiles and dress and in particular the interaction between gender, socio-economics and lived experience, as depicted in amateur film. Zoë's qualifications include: BA Film and History of Art and Design, University of Southampton (2003-2006), MA Museums and Galleries: History of Textiles and Dress (2008), Projects in Controlled Environments 2 (2012)
This compilation of film with commentary lasts for 30 minutes and will be available to view from Monday 16 November until Sunday 22 November. <a href="https://southamptonfilmweek.com/event/there-but-not-there-challenges-of-representation-and-diversity-in-the-archive-film-a-southampton-perspective" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">southamptonfilmweek.com/event/there-but-not-there-challenges-of-representation-and-diversity-in-the-archive-film-a-southampton-perspective </a>Southampton Film Week is a City Eye project <a href="http://www.city-eye.co.uk/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">www.city-eye.co.uk</a>
