World Social Forum, 2004 |
|
We have a comprehensive collection of footage of various
events, rallies, seminars, interviews, held at the WSF.
The footage was shot by groups of student volunteers as
part of the Video Bulletin project. And video works
specially made for/sent as messages to the WSF: video
letters of people's ideas of a possible, better world.
This collection is further complemented through a
comparative minor contribution of images from 2005 WSF at
Porte Alegre, Brazil and 2007 WSF at Nairobi, Kenya.

Films made with Found/Archival footage |
|
|
Increasingly, films are made using images from various
sources including archives, news reel footage and home
video images as part of telling the story. Is there a
reason for this? What are filmmakers trying to do when
they re use images? How are they interpreting the multiple
images? What comments are they trying to make, what untold
stories are they trying to reveal? What can home videos
tell us about a country's history? What inspiration for a
dark comedy can come out of a banal news report? We have a
growing collection of films made with found footage.
Documentaries from the subcontinent that innovatively use
footage, including Yasmin Kabir’s “My Migrant Soul” and
Farjad Nabi’s Nusrat has left this building… But when?”
A small collection of German film maker Harun Farocki’s
films interrogating ways of seeing.
A collection of experimental found footage films from U.S.
- a film about the banality of evil; a paranoid science
fiction wholly composed of re edited television shows, a
lyrical tribute to the beginnings of cinema, using old
pieces of film found in the attic of a Amsterdam movie
house. |
