About the films
EAFA’s annual Mash-Up Filmmaking Competition invites adults and young people from across the region to remix archive footage into their very own ‘mash-up’ film. In 2022 the theme was ‘Climate Emergency’. This event will screen the shortlisted and winning entries to the 2022 competition. The films connect events of the past with a new generation’s perspective on the urgent challenge of climate change.
In 2022, EAFA and the University of East Anglia partnered with the BBC on the Fast Forwarding Video Preservation project. Celebrating the BBC’s centenary, the project involved young people in preserving, presenting and reusing unique screen heritage. Students learned to use state-of-the-art digitisation suites and, alongside EAFA staff, selected and digitised over 500 hours of films from the BBC East collection and other collections in EAFA’s holdings. Some of the BBC films identified and digitised by the students have also been added to the BBC’s centenary archive portal, Rewind.
The Mash-Up Filmmaking Competition is kindly supported by the BFI. Fast Forwarding Video Preservation, and the video digitisation suites that made it possible, were funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council.
