Submitted Monday, 2 November, 2009 - 11:08
The Video Active project reached its final stage in August after three years of development and now contains over 10,000 videos, photographs and articles.
This collection will continue to grow. The renowned media artist and independent filmmaker Péter Forgács has used the material from Video Active to create a short documentary. By using footage from the different archives, Forgács gives a beautiful insight in the rich material available on Video Active. The documentary enables viewers to discover various aspects of European television history in a compelling form. This new work had its online premiere on October 27th, to celebrate the UNESCO World Day for the Preservation of the Audiovisual Heritage.
