On the occasion of the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, the Cinémathèque québécoise and the Concordia University Library are joining forces to explore the technical challenges related to the preservation and access of film and video collections.
Join us for a series of short presentations by specialists from both institutions, followed by a public discussion!
At 6:30 p.m., the conversation will continue at the Cinémathèque with a free screening of the restored version of Belle Famille (1978) by Serge Giguère and Robert Tremblay, providing a unique opportunity to reflect collectively on the role of media formats and equipment in transmitting our audiovisual heritage.
By bringing people together around the issues of Concordia University Library’s resources and collections and the preservation mandate of the Cinémathèque québécoise, this event highlights the importance of protecting not only the works themselves, but also the contexts, tools, and expertise that allow them to be fully experienced.
How can you participate? Join us in person or online by registering for the Zoom Meeting or watching live on YouTube.
