项目摘要

This network brings together historians, film scholars, museum professionals, migration researchers, peacebuilding experts, journalists, filmmakers, and survivors of displacement and genocide to re-examine the work of United Nations Television (UNTV) in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH) during the Yugoslav Wars. The UNTV film unit, active in 1993-5, aimed to provide content for TV broadcasts to support UN peacekeeping operations in former Yugoslavia, and recorded more than 200 reports about conditions in front-line areas from which refugees had been displaced, plus 'video letters' in which refugees sent messages to separated family members. UNTV's collected films and papers (including these recordings, more than 2000 unedited rushes, and contextual documents such as administrative correspondence, newspaper clippings and interview transcripts) were saved from disposal by the UNTV series producer Roy Head as UN peacekeeping in BiH wound up. IWM acquired this collection in 1996. It now sits alongside other holdings related to audiovisual media, war and conflict, including the NATO Collection of more than 350 hours of film from the 1940s-90s and the British Army Film and Photographic Unit's 'dope sheets' from the Second World War.The UNTV films differ from other broadcasters' footage because they were recorded to inform displaced survivors and formed part of UN humanitarian and peacekeeping strategy. While the UNTV team viewed the videos as interventions made to further immediate UN objectives during the Bosnian crisis, they have since acquired unforeseen documentary functions of interest to filmmakers, museum curators, and survivors. This network will be investigating UNTV's role in peacebuilding and the meanings of its films today at a time when historians, heritage professionals and refugee support charities are using evidence from 20th-century European refugee history to inform public understandings of migration in the present, including IWM's own Displacement public programming season in 2020. This reassessment takes place after two decades of political and economic stagnation in BiH, which call the record of international peacebuilding there - always overshadowed by the UN's wartime failure to protect civilians from genocide - into question even further. The prominence of EU border and refugee resettlement policies as a factor in today's refugee crisis, which have readily been viewed through postcolonial lenses, meanwhile invites scholars to link this earlier European refugee crisis into the same global framework. In these regards, the under-used UNTV collection offers a valuable prism through which to explore questions about media, peacebuilding, and the aesthetics of testimony and memory.Across three workshops at IWM London in 2019-20, the network will engage with questions arising not only from the UNTV films' content but also the context of their creation, broadcast, reception, archiving and long-term use:Workshop 1: UNTV and the Media in Former Yugoslavia (the films' production history, their impact at the time, and the limitations of mass media in peacebuilding)Workshop 2: Meanings of the UNTV Films Today (the films' value now for communities affected by the wars, and the use of audiovisual testimony in memorialising the wars, including the Srebrenica genocide)Workshop 3: Europe's 1990s 'Refugee Crisis' in a Global Context (comparisons/contrasts with forced migration from the Global South in the late 20th century and the reception of refugees today)The network's findings will feed into IWM's Displacement season. A dedicated microsite on the IWM website will host blog posts and videos based on workshop contributions, and public events at IWM London and in Hull will link into the 25th anniversaries of the Srebrenica genocide and the end of the Croatian/Bosnian wars. Together, participants will explore what role the UNTV films could play in peacebuilding and what lenses audiences view them through today.

该网络汇集了历史学家、电影学者、博物馆专业人员、移民研究人员、和平建设专家、记者、电影制作人以及流离失所和种族灭绝的幸存者，重新审视联合国电视台在南斯拉夫战争期间在克罗地亚和波斯尼亚-黑塞哥维那的工作。联合国电视台的电影部门在1993年至1995年活跃，旨在为电视广播提供内容，以支持联合国在前南斯拉夫的维和行动，并记录了200多篇关于难民流离失所的前线地区的报道，以及难民向失散家庭成员发送信息的“视频信件”。联合国电视台收集的影片和文件（包括这些录音、2000多份未经编辑的快播和相关文件，如行政信函、剪报和采访记录）在联合国波黑维持和平行动结束时被联合国电视台系列节目制作人罗伊·海德保存下来。IWM于1996年收购了该系列。它现在与其他与视听媒体、战争和冲突有关的资产并列，包括北约收集的20世纪40年代350多小时的电影-90年代和英国陆军电影和摄影单位的'涂料表'从第二次世界大战。联合国电视台的电影不同于其他广播公司的镜头，因为他们记录告知流离失所的幸存者，并形成了联合国人道主义和维和行动的一部分战略虽然联合国电视台小组认为这些录像是在波斯尼亚危机期间为促进联合国的直接目标而采取的干预措施，但它们后来获得了电影制片人、博物馆馆长和幸存者感兴趣的不可预见的纪录片功能。该网络将调查联合国电视台在和平建设中的作用及其电影的意义，今天，历史学家，遗产专业人士和难民支持慈善机构正在使用20世纪欧洲难民历史的证据来告知公众对当前移民的理解，包括IWM自己的流离失所公共节目季2020。这次重新评估是在波黑经历了二十年的政治和经济停滞之后进行的，这使得那里的国际和平建设记录--总是因联合国战时未能保护平民免受种族灭绝而蒙上阴影--受到进一步质疑。欧盟边境和难民安置政策的突出地位作为当今难民危机的一个因素，这已经很容易被视为通过后殖民主义的镜头，同时邀请学者链接到同一个全球框架的早期欧洲难民危机。在这些方面，未被充分利用的联合国电视台的收藏提供了一个宝贵的棱镜，通过它可以探索有关媒体、建设和平以及证词和记忆美学的问题。在2019-20年伦敦国际世界遗产会议的三个研讨会上，该网络将参与解决不仅来自联合国电视台电影内容的问题，而且还涉及其创作、广播、接收、存档和长期用途：研讨会1：联合国电视台和前南斯拉夫的媒体（影片的制作历史、当时的影响以及大众媒体在建设和平方面的局限性）（这些电影现在对受战争影响的社区的价值，以及利用视听证词纪念战争，包括斯雷布雷尼察种族灭绝）全球背景下的欧洲20世纪90年代“难民危机”（与20世纪末来自全球南方的强迫移民和今天难民接收的比较/对比）该网络的调查结果将纳入IWM的流离失所季节。IWM网站上的一个专用微型网站将根据研讨会的贡献发布博客文章和视频，IWM伦敦和船体的公共活动将与斯雷布雷尼察种族灭绝25周年和克罗地亚/波斯尼亚战争结束有关。与会者将共同探讨联合国电视台的电影在建设和平方面可以发挥什么作用，以及观众今天通过什么镜头观看这些电影。
