"What does it take to be a teenage Cosmonaut? How did camerawork convey meaning in propaganda films of South Vietnam? What music was popular on the far side of the Berlin Wall? What kind of future did the Communists foresee for an independent Angola?
Find the answers in Teenage Cosmonauts (USSR, 1980); Going Up The Line (South Vietnam, c. 1969); Angela Davis Report (East Germany, 1972); What the Wage Packet Does Not Show (East Germany, 1978); We Never Tire of Speaking About Mother (USSR, 1975); Moscow Olympics (USSR, 1980); The Voice of Free Angola (USSR, c. 1976); National Day Celebration (China, 1959). "
With this screening, NYU Libraries and the MIAP Program hope to raise local awareness about the significance of moving image collections to cultural history and collective memory. The program will also highlight challenges faced by today’s moving image archivists, from conserving obsolete formats and prolonging the life of decaying materials, to addressing the ethics of preservation for works historically underrepresented by governments and media conglomerates.
UNESCO World Day for Audiovisual Heritage is hosted by New York University on October 27, 2007 from 2:00 – 4:00 PM at the Languages and Literature Building, 19 University Place, Room 102. The event is free and open to the public. For additional information on the event, contact Sarah Ziebell or visit www.avheritage.com.
