Abstract [sv]

Artikeln undersöker vilka former av "care-in-practice" vi kan hitta i mindre arkivprojekt som det feministiska konstnärsprojektet bildwechsel i Hamburg. Detta 'care'-arbete riskerar att gå förlorat när samlingar överförs från mindre arkiv till stora kulturarvsinstitutioner.

Abstract [sv]

Att stumfilmen Flickan i frack har blivit en självklar del av Sveriges filmarv råder det ingen tvekan om. Inte minst queerfilmsfestivaler världen över uppmärksammar den. Men vilken var filmens samtida kulturella kontext? Kan Hjalmar Bergman inspirerats av den tillåtande atmosfären i Berlin när han skrev berättelsen? Och vad gör filmen så intressant för en queer publik idag?

Abstract [de]

Im Jubiläumsjahr widmet sich das aktuelle Heft der Archivierung und damit den Praxen des Sammelns, Katalogisierens und Kuratierens.

Gerade für die feministische Filmtheorie und Geschichtsschreibung waren die Archiv-Diskussionen der 1980er Jahre von entscheidender Bedeutung: Die (Wieder-)Entdeckung der Filmarbeit von Frauen in der Filmgeschichte führte zu Neuformulierungen theoretischer Positionen. Zugleich stellten sich auch Fragen nach dem Status zeitgenössischer Filmarbeit seit der zweiten Frauenbewegung: Wie prekär ist der Status der vorhandenen Kopien von oftmals auf 16mm produzierten Filmen von Frauen? Sind diese Filme, die zum Teil die Theoriebildung beeinflusst haben, überhaupt noch auffindbar bzw. zu projizieren? Wer – wenn überhaupt – kümmert sich um deren Restaurierung und Bewahrung, wenn im Fokus weitgehend die »Meisterwerke« männlicher Regisseure stehen?

 

Hinzu kommt die unsichere Situation des Filmerbes der Filmkulturen des globalen Südens, die wiederum dazu einlädt, Filmgeschichtsschreibung anders zu denken. Die Beiträge eröffnen queer-feministische Perspektiven z.B. auf künstlerische Recherche und Selbstarchivierung, Filmgeschichtsschreibung, Praktiken des Kuratierens, koloniales Kino, Amateurfilm, Black Feminist Futurity, digitale Methodenund Videokunst.

Abstract [en]

What happens when LGBTQIA+ grassroot, minor, or community archives decide to collaborate with national audiovisual archives? In an attempt to safeguard LGBTQIA+ collections in a sustainable manner, to preserve analogue films, or to reach out to wider audiences via online platforms, minor archives are nonetheless facing risks around collaborations, in terms of archival ethics of care (Brunow 2024) and around the ambivalence of visibility. Examples would be the ‘un-unboxing’ and ‘unqueering’ of collections with regards to catalogue terms and metadata, and of “naming, shaming, framing” (Brunow 2018). One of the primary risks of these collaborations lies in the potential erasure of the specific (sub)cultural and historical contexts of LGBTQIA+ materials. National audiovisual archives may prioritize standard cataloging terms and metadata that do not adequately reflect the identities and experiences represented in queer collections. This can result in the loss of nuance and the flattening of diverse narratives within the LGBTQIA+ community. Presenting results from my current research project “The Lost Heritage: Improving Collaborations between Digital Film Archives (Swedish Research Council, 2021-2024), this paper points at the risks around such collaborations and discusses how they might be overcome.

Abstract [en]

The ‘photofilm’ (Hámos, Pratschke, Tode 2010), a film based essentially on photographs, can be conceptualized as a mnemonic tool and as a mobile archive. Just like an archive, a photofilm isboth a source and a producer of knowledge. And just like an archive, a photofilm is a performative act of remembrance negotiating visual evidence and contextual frameworks (Hall1984). Evoking the “umbilical relationship” between photography and film (Schmid 2019), the photo-film enacts an intermedial encounter that allows us to see a medium ‘otherwise’ (Hallas2023). In its self-reflexive take the photofilm raises questions about the positioning of thephotographer/filmmaker, about auteurism and self-adaptation (Mousavi 2021), about cinematic self-reflexivity, movement/stillness (Mulvey 2006) about temporality, as well as about ontologyand performativity (Azoulay 2008, Edwards 2012, 2020). This talk will look at the processes oftransmediation (Elleström 2020) at work in the photo-film. Mobilizing an intermedial perspectiveon the reuse of photography in documentary filmmaking, I argue, can help us conceptualise the photo-film as a mnemonic tool and a mobile archive. How do instances of media transformationand media representation (Elleström) contribute to creating an audiovisual archive of possibilities?

My theoretical objects for this talk will be works by filmmaker and photographer Sirkka-LiisaKonttinen from the Newcastle-based Amber film and photo collective around the urban redevelopment of Newcastle’s working-class district of Byker (Roe 2007, Leggott 2020. Konttinen’s transmedia artworks portray, explore, and curate a dynamic audiovisual archive that is constantly in the making: an urban archive in becoming, an audiovisual archive of possibilities.
