Belfast Film Festival Programmer Rose Baker contributed to the latest issue of VIEW: Journal of European Television History and Culture.
The issue is entitled With and Against the Grain: Creative Dialogues with Broadcast Archives. Rose’s article is an abridged section of her phD research into Ulster Television in the 1960s and focuses on three audio-visual works curated by her as part of her work as Programmer with Belfast Film Festival.
The three pieces are compiled of broadcast television material primarily from the Ulster Television archive maintained by Northern Ireland Screen’s Digital Film Archive, and BBC Northern Ireland. The works discussed are put into the context of a culture of established and often creative exploration of television curation within the Belfast Film Festival. The three works reflect different aspects of both the archive, the broadcaster, the role of the curator and considerations of exhibiting such material in a post-conflict society.
