Supported by research network funding from AHRC and the Irish Research Council, since 2020, the Make Film History project has made available over 200 films from BBC Archive, the British and Irish Film Institutes, Northern Ireland Screen and the London Community Video Archive for creative reuse by young filmmakers in schools, film training and higher education across the UK and Ireland. Once licensed by an educational institution, over 200 films can be downloaded by tutors for use in the classroom, on campus or online. Students browse our website, choose an archive film to respond to and request download access to the film, integrating clips of up to two minutes into their own documentaries. This call provides an exciting opportunity to build on our existing research and research network, working with a project partner, BBC Archive, at the heart of the BBC's centenary events. BBC Archive currently provides young filmmakers with access to 70 documentaries through the Make Film History project, but we have recently curated a further 80 films to add to the collection on the themes of the Environment, Mental Health and Neurodiversity, and Diversity. Other programmes in the collection focus on the early years of community broadcasting, changing modes of documentary storytelling and production, teenage life and youth culture, career prospects, stories of immigration and the Black British experience.Our proposed project will ask young filmmakers aged 16-30 across the UK to choose a BBC programme from the Make Film History collection and create a short film in response to it. After initial engagement events in Belfast, Glasgow, Leeds/Bradford and London, young filmmakers will respond to a call for proposals on this theme and fifty participants will be selected to receive mentoring from a professional filmmaker to make their films across these four locations. The selected filmmakers will shoot new material inspired by the archive film they choose and can include up to two minutes of the archive work in their film. Through creative reuse of the BBC's audio-visual heritage, participants will illuminate the past and reinterpret key moments from BBC history through the lens of a new generation, making it relevant to their lives and communities today, filmed and edited their way. These fifty new short films will uncover the forgotten histories of underrepresented communities and reflect the full diversity of the UK, engaging local and regional filmmakers and audiences. Much of our public memory is enshrined in BBC programme-making. Now these programmes can be recontextualised by young filmmakers and shared with their communities. We will follow the successful workshop model we have developed over the past two years and work with existing partners in the Make Film History research network of film festivals, training organisations, research centres and cinemas in Belfast, Glasgow, Leeds and London, as described below. This project builds on our existing research into the creative reuse of audio-visual heritage in education. Copyright and clearance restrictions and the cost of commercial licensing have previously imposed barriers to creatively reusing audio-visual heritage. By working with our project partners, we have removed these barriers and created a new model for creative reuse by young filmmakers for non-commercial, educational use. 75 higher education institutions and a dozen film festivals and training organisations now access this archival resource. This an ambitious but very feasible project, built on an innovative, tried and tested research model of creative reuse in education. The audio-visual history of the BBC is at the heart of the project, giving young creatives a manageable selection of films to browse and respond to, creating fifty new short films which reimagine key moments from television history through the eyes of a new generation of filmmakers.

在AHRC和爱尔兰研究理事会研究网络资金的支持下，自2020年以来，制作电影历史项目已经提供了来自BBC档案馆、英国和爱尔兰电影学院、北爱尔兰银幕和伦敦社区视频档案馆的200多部电影，供英国和爱尔兰的年轻电影制作人在学校、电影培训和高等教育中创造性地重复使用。一旦获得教育机构的许可，导师就可以下载200多部电影，供课堂、校园或在线使用。学生浏览我们的网站，选择一部档案馆电影作为回应，并请求下载访问该电影，将长达两分钟的剪辑整合到他们自己的纪录片中。这次电话会议提供了一个令人兴奋的机会，可以在我们现有的研究和研究网络的基础上，与项目合作伙伴BBC档案合作，BBC档案是BBC百年纪念活动的核心。BBC档案馆目前通过电影历史制作项目为年轻电影制作人提供了70部纪录片的机会，但我们最近又策划了80部电影，以环境、心理健康和神经多样性以及多样性为主题。其他节目集中在社区广播的早期，纪录片讲述和制作模式的变化，青少年生活和青年文化，职业前景，移民故事和黑人英国经历。我们提议的项目将要求英国16-30岁的年轻电影制作人从创造电影历史集合中选择一个BBC节目，并制作一部回应它的短片。在贝尔法斯特、格拉斯哥、利兹/布拉德福德和伦敦的初步参与活动之后，年轻的电影制作人将响应关于这一主题的建议，50名参与者将被选为接受专业电影制作人的指导，在这四个地点拍摄他们的电影。被选中的电影制作人将拍摄受他们选择的档案电影启发的新材料，并可以在他们的电影中包括最多两分钟的档案工作。通过对BBC视听遗产的创造性再利用，参与者将通过新一代人的镜头照亮过去，重新解读BBC历史上的关键时刻，使之与他们今天的生活和社区相关，以他们的方式拍摄和编辑。这50部新短片将揭开代表不足的社区被遗忘的历史，并反映英国的全面多样性，吸引当地和地区的电影制作人和观众。我们的大部分公众记忆都体现在BBC的节目制作中。现在，这些节目可以由年轻的电影制作人重新设置背景，并与他们的社区分享。我们将遵循我们在过去两年中开发的成功研讨会模式，并与贝尔法斯特、格拉斯哥、利兹和伦敦的电影节、培训机构、研究中心和电影院的现有合作伙伴合作，如下所述。这个项目建立在我们对音像遗产在教育中创造性再利用的现有研究的基础上。版权和许可限制以及商业许可的成本以前对创造性地重新利用视听遗产设置了障碍。通过与我们的项目合作伙伴合作，我们已经消除了这些障碍，并创建了一种新的模式，供年轻电影制作人创造性地重复使用，用于非商业、教育用途。75所高等教育机构和十几个电影节和培训机构现在可以访问这一档案资源。这是一个雄心勃勃但非常可行的项目，建立在教育中创造性再利用的创新、试验和测试的研究模式上。BBC的视听历史是该项目的核心，为年轻创意人员提供了可供浏览和回应的可管理的电影选择，创作了50部新的短片，通过新一代电影制作人的眼睛重新想象电视史上的关键时刻。
