Working with the BFI National Archive

Alongside a million film and TV items, paper collections include a dazzling array of scripts, stills, posters and designs. This event offers an introduction to BFI collections and how producers and filmmakers can engage with them, from the practicalities of footage licensing and rights clearance to in-house curatorial expertise and opportunities for bespoke broadcast collaboration.
