The creative use of archive and found footage has become central to many leading documentaries and films like Senna and Searching For Sugarman have showcased how existing footage can be intertwined with other elements to amazing storytelling effect. This session will explore the use of archive with providers, including the IFI Archive, and filmmakers including Nick Ryan (The Summit) and Andrew Gallimore (In Sunshine or in Shadow) to give insights into how best to approach this area of documentary filmmaking.

This event is free but ticketed. Tickets are free and can be booked by contacting the IFI Box Office 01 679 3477 / boxoffice@irishfilm.ie
