Last week, the most recent London's Screen Archives (LSA) workshop took place, this time focused on 'An Introduction to Identification and Handling of Archive Film & Video'.

This workshop was designed for anyone looking to gain or enhance their skills in working with archive film and video. Participants learned the core elements of film and video identification, how to handle legacy formats safely, and what to look for when caring for moving image material.

By the end of the day, participants gained a solid understanding of the key elements needed to identify common archive film and video formats, developed confidence in handling these materials, and learned best practices for caring for them.

More LSA events and workshops will be taking place later in the year, keep an eye on the Film London socials and on the LSA website for more information.
