Berlinale Shorts hosts a discussion on the longevity and visibility of films on the internet and in archives. How can we expand the film canon? How can we access films which are no longer accessible? Can digitization offer us renewed access to films that have been lost or overshadowed? Panelists Mark Toscano (Academy Film Archive), Jeffrey Bowers (Vimeo), Lauren Howes (Canadian Filmmakers Distribution Centre) and Jayisha Patel (filmmaker) will address these questions and more. The short films Le Tigre de Tasmanie by Vergine Keaton (Berlinale Shorts), Circle by Jayisha Patel (Berlinale Shorts) and Nuuca by Michelle Latimer (Generation) will be screened, followed by a Q&A. The panel discussion will begin at 15:00.
