As cultural heritage organisations digitise their collections and 
increase public access, the creative reuse of moving image archive 
material remains problematic, beset by questions of copyright law, 
rights clearance and “fair dealing” exceptions. TheArchives for 
Education <http://www.archivesforeducation.com/>project provides a new 
model for the creative reuse of archive film in higher education, giving 
student filmmakers access to 39 films from the BBC and the BFI National 
Archive for creative reuse on course-related projects for the first 
time. 45 institutions have signed up to the scheme, allowing student 
filmmakers to connect their vision of Britain today with archival 
representations from their parents’ and grandparents’ generations.

This one-day symposium, organised by Kingston School of Art and hosted 
by BFI Education, reflects on the first full academic year of the scheme 
and explores the creative and pedagogic possibilities of creative reuse 
in higher education and how the scheme can be further developed.

We invite proposals for 20-minute presentations which critically reflect 
on the topics below or the theme of creative reuse of moving image 
material in higher education, in the UK or internationally:

  * The creative reuse of archive material as a teaching tool – to
    explore film history, the evolution of film practices,
    representation and time.
  * Creative approaches to working with archive material – what new
    lines of enquiry and methodology can creative reuse open up for
    student filmmakers?
  * Case studies from participating institutions on their use of this
    archive material for student projects, and how students have
    creatively responded to it.
  * Found footage and the audiovisual essay
  * Professional practice around archive licensing, clearance and copyright
  * The ethical considerations of working with archive material
  * Working with archives to open up access to moving image material for
    creative reuse in higher education

To submit a proposal, please send an abstract of no more than 250 words 
and a 50-word bio to (s.osullivan /at/ kingston.ac.uk) by March 1, 2020.

We also plan to screen a programme of student films produced through the 
scheme at the symposium and invite submissions from participating 
institutions. Please send non-public screening links to 
(s.osullivan /at/ kingston.ac.uk) by April 1, 2020.

Registration for the symposium will be free and we are grateful for the 
ongoing support of BBC Archive and the BFI for the project.
