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.

自2020年以来，在AHRC和爱尔兰研究委员会的研究网络资助的支持下，《制造电影历史项目》（Make Film History Project）从BBC档案馆，英国和爱尔兰电影学院，北爱尔兰屏幕和伦敦社区社区视频档案中提供了200多部电影，并在英国和爱尔兰各地的电影培训和高等教育中获得了年轻电影制片人的创造性重新使用。一旦获得教育机构的许可，可以在教室，校园或在线上下载200多部电影。学生浏览我们的网站，选择一部档案电影来响应并要求下载对这部电影的访问，将最多两分钟的剪辑集成到自己的纪录片中。该呼吁为建立我们现有的研究和研究网络提供了一个令人兴奋的机会，该网络与BBC百年赛事核心的项目合作伙伴BBC档案馆合作。英国广播公司（BBC）档案目前通过《制作电影历史项目》为年轻的电影制片人提供了70张纪录片的访问权限，但我们最近策划了另外80部电影，以添加到环境主题，心理健康和神经多样性以及多样性的收藏中。该系列中的其他计划重点介绍了社区广播的早期，改变了纪录片讲故事和制作方式，青少年生活和青年文化，职业前景，移民故事和英国黑人的经验。我们拟议的项目将要求英国16-30岁的年轻电影制片人从Make Make History Collection中选择BBC计划，并为其创建短片。在贝尔法斯特，格拉斯哥，利兹/布拉德福德和伦敦举行的最初订婚活动之后，年轻的电影制片人将回应有关该主题的建议的呼吁，将选择五十名参与者从专业电影制片人那里获得指导，以在这四个地点进行电影。选定的电影制片人将拍摄以他们选择的档案电影启发的新材料，并且可以在电影中最多包含两分钟的档案作品。通过创造性的重复利用BBC的视听遗产，参与者将阐明过去和重新诠释BBC历史到新一代镜头的关键时刻，使其与当今的生活和社区相关，并与他们的生活和社区相关。这五十部新的短片将揭开代表性不足社区的被遗忘的历史，并反映了英国的全部多样性，吸引了当地和地区电影制片人和观众。我们的大部分公共记忆都在BBC程序制作中构成。现在，这些计划可以由年轻的电影制片人重新连接并与他们的社区分享。我们将遵循过去两年中成功开发的研讨会模型，并与现有合作伙伴合作，在电影节，电影节，培训组织，研究中心和电影院的Make History Research网络中，位于贝尔法斯特，格拉斯哥，利兹，利兹和伦敦，如下所述。该项目以我们现有的研究为基础，研究了教育中视听遗产的创造性。版权和清除限制以及商业许可的成本以前为创造性的视听遗产施加了障碍。通过与我们的项目合作伙伴合作，我们消除了这些障碍，并创建了一种新的模型，以创造性电影制片人的创造性重新利用非商业，教育用途。现在有75家高等教育机构以及十几个电影节和培训组织现在可以访问此档案资源。这是一个雄心勃勃但非常可行的项目，建立在一种创新，尝试和测试的教育创造性研究模型上。英国广播公司（BBC）的视听历史是该项目的核心，使年轻的创意人士可以选择浏览和回应的电影选择，从而制作了五十部新的短片，这些电影从电视历史到新一代电影制片人的眼睛都重新想象着关键时刻。
