Remediation of Film Archives: Digital Humanities and Audiovisual Heritage

Abstract

The curatorship of audiovisual archival collections is currently influenced by the challenges of digital technologies. Integrating these technologies can open new horizons in accessing, preserving, and enhancing audiovisual materials, yet it also introduces significant ethical challenges. For instance, greater accessibility to audiovisual heritage enables a broader audience to explore archives’ resources through new distribution models driven by technological, economic, institutional, and cultural changes. However, these changes require a mindful approach in selecting the materials, with ongoing reflections on sustainability and obsolescence.
