December 1922 will mark the centenary of the introduction of 9.5mm film 
to the French cinematographic market.  Pathé Freres first launched their 
‘Pathé Baby’ home cinema system on domestic territory in time for the 
Christmas season, with the promise of a soon-to-follow lightweight and 
modestly priced cine-camera using the same narrow gauge, and fitting in 
a vest pocket (1923, pp. 48–50). In time, the new gauge became available 
elsewhere -arriving just ahead of Kodak’s 16mm film/cinema system, and 
together these signalled the first major boom in amateur filmmaking.

The conference organisers are delighted to confirm keynote addresses by 
Dr Ryan Shand (Ravensbourne University London) and Dr Annamaria 
Motrescu-Mayes (University of Cambridge).

We have a packed schedule of papers from archivists, scholars, and 
filmmakers across the globe – the programme, a full list of speakers and 
abstracts can now be found on the conference website.

benefit of those attending in other time zones, we have endeavoured to 
position some of our keynotes a little later in the day.
