Description
Did you know that video footage, unless stored properly, only lasts about 30 years? This means anything shot on video from 1994 or earlier is already at risk of deteriorating! Yikes! Bring your old movies to Southwark Archives where the team from London's Screen Archives will be providing video players and small gauge viewers, so you can watch your home movies - all for free. We accept VHS, mini DV, hi-8, 8mm and Super8 formats.Get advice on how you can preserve your screen records for future generations.
Find out how you can add your part of history to Southwark’s Film collection.
We’ll also be screening archival films that explore Black heritage in Southwark, highlighting the rich and diverse narratives that have shaped our communities.
