Archival Screening Night

MIPoPS will host the fourth annual NWA Archival Screening Night this year at the in-person annual meeting of the Northwest Archivists 2023. Please join us for an evening of entertainment and awareness for archival moving images, with a screening of film and video recordings from archival collections.

The event will be held Thursday, May 4, 2023.

LOOKING BACK, MOVING FORWARD

Inspired by the conference theme, Looking Back, Moving Forward we are seeking content highlighting all facets of audiovisual heritage to “renew our commitment to the impact and importance of archives.” Oral histories, news footage, musical performances, experimental films, documentaries, stunning b-roll, and just about any other kind of moving images will be accepted to create an inclusive showcase of videotape and film materials demonstrating the rich moving history of the Northwest.
