‘Rebuilding Coventry’ by MACE
Produced by The Media Archive for Central England (MACE), ‘Rebuilding Coventry tells the story of how the city rose phoenix-like from the ashes.

‘Private Pasts and Future Publics’, research project by Daniel Mauro (Texas,US)
‘Private Pasts and Future Publics‘- Daniel Mauro (University of Texas at Austin, US) explores research questions such as whether home movies are ‘truly “representative” of the everyday on a larger scale?’ and ‘Do curators/filmmakers/scholars/etc. have the goal of making these films representative, or, is it the context of their selection that necessarily positions them on a representative scale?’.
