Event description

Join us for conversation with Dr Simone Gigliotti about film, history, digital curation, and regenerated archives of movement.

Dr Gigliotti's latest monograph Restless Archive is a digital, open access book and exhibition that analyses how non-fiction film (documentaries, newsreels, home movies, fundraiser films and documentaries) represented Jewish home-seeking routes and obstructions during and after the Nazi period (from 1933 to 1949). The digital platform on which the book is published functions as a curation zone that gathers previously dispersed material and presents them as a "restless archive" of historical displacement, politics and prejudice.

Bio: Simone Gigliotti is Reader in Holocaust Studies at Royal Holloway, University of London, UK.
