Roehampton University hosted a symposium on the future of screen heritage, an opportunity for stakeholders to discuss what needs to be done to ensure the long-term future of our moving image and screen heritage.

Professor Michael Chanan said the event explored issues facing the industry, and discussed ways in which to achieve consensus and common goals where possible, which he hopes will lead to discussions about funding and practical strategy.

Industry leaders including Amanda Nevill (British Film Institute), Adam Lee (BBC), Murray Weston (British Universities Film and Video Council) and Lynne Brindley (British Library) attended the event, and discussed issues including archiving policy and selection, intellectual property and copyright, documentation collection, accessibility and institutional models.

“Currently these issues are bound up with funding levels and institutional fragmentation; responsibilities are currently shared between the lead body, the British Film Institute, and others including the BBC and regional film archives,” he said.

“The new Secretary of State, James Purnell, is encouraging a full debate about screen heritage including this event, the intention of which is to bring stakeholders and interested parties together to begin a process of convergence and understanding.”

The symposium was supported and organised by the Centre for Research in Film and Audiovisual Cultures, Roehampton University; and by the Louis Le Prince Centre, Institute of Communication Studies, University of Leeds on behalf of MeCCSA.
