Hidden treasures from Eye's collection

Meet the Archive gives you a behind-the-scenes look into Eye. It’s a hive of activity: the museum collects, researches, restores and reflects on film history – ‘hidden’ activities our curators are happy to reveal to you, once a month, always on a Friday, and on Saturday 24 May.

Eye curators talk about the filmmuseum’s eclectic, wide-ranging collection. What is hidden among a collection of 55,000 film titles? Which films are restored and why? In what areas does Eye carry out research? And what choices does putting together a collection like this involve?
