Restless Archive: The Holocaust and the Cinema of the Displaced
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.
