framing film
In collaboration with Amsterdam University Press (AUP), Eye publishes its own academic book series entitled Framing Film.
This series consists of theoretical and analytical books in the field of restoration, preservation, archival and exhibition practices in line with the work of Eye. The first title appeared in 2009: From Grain to Pixel. The Archival Life of Film in Transition by Giovanna Fossati. Since then, a dozen of books have been published in the series.
With Framing Film, Eye and AUP aim to support scholars and archivists in their reflection on archival and restoration practices.
I ... applaud this [series'] effort, because for me the construction of film history has always been a complex matrix of social forces, academic research interest, and archival ability. Just as research queries by film scholars lead to films being prioritized for preservation and restoration, preservation initiatives in the archives also lead to an opening up of new film historical terrain — Jan-Christopher Horak, director of UCLA Film & Television Archive
The Eye Filmmuseum in Holland is a leader in the field and their Framing Film imprint adds invaluable scholarship to the field — Mike Leggett, Leonardo Reviews
