Archival Film Curatorship is a groundbreaking book that delves into the intersection of institutional histories, early and silent film historiography, and archival curatorship. It explores three institutions at the forefront of experimentation with film exhibition and curatorship: the Eye Film Museum in Amsterdam, the George Eastman Museum in Rochester, NY, and the National Fairground and Circus Archive in Sheffield, UK. These institutions serve as exemplary sites of historical mediation between early and silent cinema and the digital age. Through a range of elements, including preservation protocols, technologies of display, museum architectures, and curatorial discourses in blogs, catalogs, and interviews, the author innovatively theorizes the archives hermeneutic dispositif. Archival Film Curatorship provides film and preservation scholars with a unique perspective on the shifting definitions, histories, and uses of film in the digital age. It offers valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities faced by archivists and curators in preserving and presenting film to new audiences.
