The Northern Ireland Now: Contemporary Collecting Project Showcase, FSM Auditorium - January 27th @11am

8 Jan 2025

The Northern Ireland Now: Contemporary Collecting Project is run by the Nerve Centre in partnership with Northern Ireland Screen. The aim of the project is to tackle underrepresentation in Northern Ireland's Digital Film Archive by working collaboratively with twelve community groups across the North of Ireland to make a new video collection that celebrates equality, diversity and inclusion. 

In this showcase, Project Coordinator Elspeth Vischer and Project Cataloguer Stephen Newe will discuss how this project has worked in practice. They will screen video materials gathered with community groups, provide insights into the process of cataloguing these videos for the Digital Film Archive and discuss overall learnings from this exciting project.
