Your Window to the World: Celebrating Auviovisual Heritage with UNESCO Archives

Thursday 23 October, 16:00 to 19:00

UNESCO Headquarters – 7 Place de Fontenoy, Paris

Join us in celebrating the 20th anniversary of World Day for Audiovisual Heritage!

On this special occasion, we will showcase a selection of newly digitized films from the UNESCO Archives thanks to the support of UNESCO Member States France and Monaco. The Co-ordinating Council of Audiovisual Archives Associations (CCAAA) will also present films from around the world shared by its member organizations. This celebration emphasizes the importance of preserving the world’s audiovisual heritage by highlighting a rich selection of unique audiovisual archives.

What to expect?

Powerful films and unseen footage that embody UNESCO’s and CCAAA’s core values, alongside brief talks by representatives of UNESCO and the CCAAA. The screening will end with a question-and-answer period inviting lively discussions with the public about the preservation and impact of audiovisual archives.
