2019 FIAF Symposium
Session 2: History Lessons
Lausanne, 8 April 2019
The identity and missions of national film archives were constructed in specific original contexts, different for each of them. Institutional histories are always social histories, going beyond the strict domain of archives. Political, economic, educational, or religious contexts have played important roles that still condition their contemporary and future development.
