Archiving from Below Discussion Series: Approaches to a Pan-African Cinema Archive with June Givanni and Onyeka Igwe
May 28 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm BST
Férid Boughedir
We are very excited to welcome June Givanni and Onyeka Igwe to our next Archiving from Below event, where they will discuss their different experiences of working with, encountering, and building archive collections that foreground marginalised histories and develop radical approaches to archiving itself.
June Givanni is a pioneering international film curator who founded the June Givanni Pan-African Cinema Archive, based on her collections from years of working in the field of cinema. She recently won a BAFTA for her contribution to cinema.
Onyeka Igwe is a filmmaker, writer, and researcher who works extensively with archival collections. She has most recently written a book about June Givanni and JGPACA, titled June Givanni: The Making of a Pan-African Cinema Archive, published by Lawrence and Wishart.
There will be a curated display highlighting collections from the June Givanni PanAfrican Cinema Archive that have shaped and inspired their respective approaches to engaging with and contributing to a PanAfrican cinema history through research, writing, curation and moving-image.
Collections: Third Eye: London Third World Cinema Festival, The Pan-African Film and Television Festival of Ouagadougou (FESPACO), Images Caraïbes and Celebration of Black Cinema
