A short film that makes the case for the opening up of film and sound archives, produced for the JISC Film and Sound Think Tank. Featuring students from Kingsway College alongside experts from top UK archives including Tony Ageh from the BBC and Paula Le Dieu from the BFI, the video explores the potential and issues around accessing, using and re-using our rich film and sound heritage. It also tells a story within a story, using clips from these archives, including little-seen footage from the suffragette movement. (11 minutes)
