Part of the London Korean Film Festival's Special Focus: A Century of Korean Cinema

Join us for coffee and croissants as we discuss the process of working with archive institutions and organisations. Where to start and the question of information availability and accessibility – how do you know that an archive copy even exists?

Questions of affordability and the means to acquire archive materials, how to preserve and restore and who truly does hold the responsibility for these treasures? And what are the options for screening more alternative content and lesser known titles, bringing back lost and previously banned titles exploring radical or political messages?

Each topic will be discussed in depth with the help of our guest speakers:

Cho Junhyung (Korean Film Archive senior researcher)

Bryony Dixon (BFI National Archive curator of Silent Film)

Jemma Buckley (Senior Partnerships Manager, Independent Cinema Office)

Ehsan Khoshbakht (Co-director, Il Cinema Ritrovato)

The talk will be moderated by Pamela Hutchinson (freelance writer, critic and film historian)
