when: 24 Mar 2025 | cost: FREE | address: 300 Funston Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94118, United StatesPre-linger Archives is in the final year of a three-year grant for mass-digitization of its film collection funded by Filecoin Foundation for the Decentralized Web.
Since the start of the project, Prelinger Archives staff have scanned over 3 million feet of film and uploaded over 2000 items, while collectively developing practices of inclusive and reparative description to allow multiple avenues into a vast trove of moving images. This curated screening will highlight rarities and treasures within the collection that have inspired, delighted and bewildered staff.
The speakers, all Prelinger Archives staff, will each share experiences from the project as footage is screened and will speak to working with a unique collection that contains a wide array of materials (outtakes, home movies, warped films). The screening will be followed by a moderated Q&A.
Presentations by Megan Shaw Prelinger, Brian Eggert, Kristin Lipska, Emily Chao, Jennifer Miko, Megan Needels, Kate Dollenmayer and Adrianne Finelli.
