Peter Spence will deliver his paper \u2018<\/em>Re-considering History and Narrative Through the Short Factual Film The Archive (UK 2018)\u2019<\/em> via live stream at the The 12th Asian Conference on Media, Communication & Film (MediAsia2021<\/a>) in Kyoto, Japan in November.<\/p>\n

The paper reflects on tensions and dialogues between historical enquiry and narrative story-telling, using the case study of the short documentary film The Archive (2018<\/em>). It asks the question: can a factual film that mediates the past through a model for genre narrative story-telling also offer new understanding of US cold-war history? Furthermore, the paper considers the respective \u2018value\u2019 of archival materials that have often been categorized according to a hierarchy of \u2018official\u2019 and \u2018found\u2019.<\/p>\n
