The symposium The Right to a Public: Working with TV Archives took place in autumn 2020. The presentation of films and television programs by Navina Sundaram, Sohrab Shahid Saless, and Harun Farocki showed the need to work together with broadcasters and other social actors to ensure (public) access to their collections, and the visualization of film history along with it. The historical, cultural, and educational value of the broadcasters’ archival holdings is beyond doubt. High time, then, to consider them as democratic common property and national film heritage, to discuss the right to education, copyright and personal rights, and the future of television. We can note some positive recent developments, inside and outside the broadcasters. At the symposium, they are to be bundled and strengthened.
“The Right to a Public II” invites representatives of broadcasters, cultural institutions, academia, cinema and film production to an open debate.
