Introducing speech of Nosarchives by Cecilia Pagliarani

London, 29 september 2012 FIAT/IFTA

We are honored to tell our story in this archive’s conference, guardians of

global memory.

nosarchives.com is just a little voice in this throbbing heart, but we have

decided to share our experience because we have created this small

structure that deals with amateur film and pictures of all formats from

1928 for film and from 1895 for pictures. We know how much inedits

materials are important for the broadcasters work.

nosarchives.com it works and sell!

My associate Manuel Kleidman and me had been through a lot for the

creation of this archive, because in Bracciano, the wonderful place where

we have decided to live and work, there is no optical fiber, though is just

30 km from Rome, and because the media business was focused in the

big cities.

Finally we turned this difficulties in opportunities:

through a contest from Regione Lazio, we have obtained a big

office in a very useful business center;

Bracciano is a country full of memories, where there is the only

medieval castle still inhabitated by the same family (Odescalchi).

Here, our idea and company’s mission were widely accepted;

After only 6 months our collection had 4000 reels and now,

two years later, we have exceeded 13000. This means this is a hard

work for a small company with 8 people, where everyday new

footage are described and published and where new collaboration

are done.

nosarchives.com was born by the family collection, by neighbor, by

family around us and through speaking with people is growing. The

authors and their heirs give to us their memories, we restore and

digitalize them in Full HD. After that we return to the authors or their heirs

the established economical share.

The creation of nosarchives.com website is like an adventure film. With

Fabio Torchetti, now ours IT manager, we have created a consulting and

e-commerce platform and we are very satisfied with it, because it is in

continuing transformation so that has been named “ Penelope’s canvas”.

Thanks to this experience we can now organize others archive and Fabio

Torchetti will explain the passionate path that as lead to Leda Memory.

But our work isn’t just storage and digitalization: in September 2012, with

the patronage of the town of Bracciano and in collaboration with some

local association, we have arranged “Il Gusto Della Memoria” (The Taste

of Memory), the first festival of the common memory through amateur

footage. This festival will travel from city to city like in the 60’s.

Furthermore, in June 2013, we will replay the Festival in Chatenay

Malabry in France and NeusaB in Germany, the two partner town of

Bracciano. And we‘re playing to transform it in a travelling festival , during

the 2014.

This year we have presented the archive at Venice Festival where we

have obtained an important visibility. Nosarchives.com raises curiosity:

producers, documentary filmmakers and reserchers but also private who

wants to join us and become a “memory’s agent”.

In conclusion, the future: in the next month nosarchives.com has a lot of

parallel project to develop:

organization an amateurs XXI° century film Festival with film

from our collection with voting on the web. In collaboration with an

Italian cinematographic information portal.

growing of ours collaboration with the Universities of Perugia,

RomaTre, and Bicocca of Milano for visual anthropology project and

we are working to make wider ours abroad collaborations

we will participate with our picture’s collection of 1900 of Mujik

pilgrimage to Jerusalem for “Soggetti Migranti” at Pigorini Museum

of Rome

at last, the most ambitious project, our will is to nullify the gap

from the original object to the web publication. This may appear just

like a detail, but it’s an hard work!

Now I give the word to Manuel Kleidman and Fabio Torchetti, thank you.
