Step into the world of childhood cinema nostalgia by joining the BFI Screencraft team to learn about the BFI National Archive’s paper collections. This talk will explore the written and visual arts collections preserved by the Screencraft Department, revealing stories, creativity, and the history behind some of the most beloved childhood films from the 1960s through to the 1990s. The BFI is the UK's lead organisation for film and moving image, and the National Archive looks after one of the largest and most important collections of film and television in the world. This talk will be delivered by Kay Eldridge, BFI Screencraft Assistant curator.
