Cette journée d’études est concue comme un forum de rencontre entre des chercheur.e.s en médias, des archivistes et les programmateurs.rices de films, et des artistes basées au Québec qui partageront leurs questions théoriques et méthodologiques dans leurs recherches sur les médias féministes et queer.

York University's YFile news blog recently published an article about the recent Global Audiovisual Archiving Conference (GAVA) that A/CA co-organized with the Eye Filmmuseum and TIFF. In addition to providing a critical overview of the conference and its significance to international conversations around community archiving and media preservation, the post has some brief quotes from A/CA Principal Investigator Janine Marchessault.

This episode features recent GAVA presenter Julia Minne (Université de Montréal) in conversation with A/CA's Principal Investigator, Janine Marchessault. In the interview, Julia discusses the research she has been conducting on the feminist video art collective Vidéo Femmes within the Cinémathèque québécoise archives.

We are extremely excited to announce a new partnership with VUCAVU to host our A/CA Educational Guides Series. This new partnership with VUCAVU also coincides with the publication of our newest batch of guides focused on the “Beyond the Narrative" CFMDC Case Study.

The Archives in Action Public Plenary brings together academics, cultural workers, and community practitioners to discuss key access, creative, and policy issues affecting marginalized audiovisual archives in Canada.

We are thrilled to announce the schedule and registration information for the 2nd Annual Global Audiovisual Archiving Conference that is taking place at the iconic TIFF Lightbox in downtown Toronto from July 12-14. This year's event promises to be an exceptional gathering of experts, enthusiasts, and innovators in the fields of media archiving and heritage.

The new Spring/Summer issue of Feminist Media Histories, which is edited by Maggie Hennefeld and Laura Horak, is now available online, and there are several A/CA members with articles published in it.

If you didn't have a chance to catch the in-person Chasing Moons screening from the Winnipeg Film Group at the Black Lodge Theatre last week, the program is now available to watch online on VUCAVU until April 8th.

Late last week, Janine Marchessault, Archive/Counter-Archive's Principal Investigator and a distinguished Professor and Tier One Research Chair at York University, was awarded the prestigious Killam Prize.
