Screen Cornwall, Kresen Kernow and The Box are inviting individuals and organisations with an interest in Cornwall’s screen heritage to join a collaborative workshop exploring the role of moving image collections in Cornwall’s cultural future.

Supported through the BFI Screen Heritage Fund’s Reframing the Region programme, the workshop will bring together people who create, care for, research, use and champion Cornwall’s screen heritage.

Through facilitated group discussions and activities, participants will explore the significance and visibility of Cornwall’s screen heritage, helping to identify:

gaps in existing collections
opportunities for future collecting and collaboration
shared priorities for preserving, interpreting and sharing Cornwall’s screen heritage

The findings from the workshop will directly inform the development of a new Regional Collecting Strategy, helping to ensure future screen heritage activity is inclusive, representative and responsive to contemporary communities.

Who should apply?

We welcome applications from individuals and organisations with an interest in Cornwall’s screen heritage, including those involved in creating, collecting, caring for, researching, using or championing moving image collections.

You don’t need to be a screen heritage specialist to take part. We’re interested in bringing together a broad range of perspectives, experiences and knowledge from across Cornwall. Workshop open to over 18s only. An honorarium is available for applicants who are not in a salaried role.
