Come and find out how a film archive works in this new exhibition on display in W1 throughout the festival.
The BFI National Archive looks after one of the largest and most important collections of film and television in the world. Its teams of experts ensure that the collections are preserved and developed for future generations and made widely accessible to today’s audiences. This multimedia installation enables visitors to explore this work and learn about the people who make it possible.
The exhibition is supported by the BFI Screen Heritage Fund, awarding National Lottery funding.
The exhibition will be open from 14:00 - 18:00 from Thu 23 – Sun 26 July. All welcome in this FREE drop-in space including younger guests, where they will be able to handle rare film formats, operate a 16mm film viewer and create their own hand drawn film strips. Drop in anytime to participate. You can also see the exhibition during our Lunchtime Talks (ticket holders only).
