Academic Director of The East Anglian Film Archive
The East Anglian Film Archive (EAFA) is the regional film archive for the East of England, wholly owned by University of East Anglia. EAFA was established in 1976 and part of the UEA since 1984. The collection includes approximately 75,000 catalogue titles and 148,000 physical items in total in its purpose built vaults at The Archive Centre, Norwich.
The archive is an accredited archive under the National Archives Accreditation scheme putting it in the top 5% of archives in the UK. EAFA’s collections include thousands of films and television programmes from 1896 to the present day, including unique collections from Anglia Television, BBC East, and the Institute of Amateur Cinematographers. The core collection reflects the six counties of the East of England region – Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk, and Suffolk through mainly non – fiction material such as documentaries, home movies, travelogues, educational, advertising, and promotional films. EAFA also homes the work of significant regional artist filmmaking groups such as The East Anglian Film-Makers Co-Operative.
EAFA supports UEA teaching, research, engagement, and enterprise activities. EAFA’s collections are a valuable resource for academics, researchers and students working across a range of disciplines. We collaborate with academics at UEA on a range of funded research projects and educational initiatives in areas such as art and media history, cultural heritage, digital humanities, screen education and medical humanities. These reflect the strengths of our collections in non-commercial filmmaking and regional television, but also EAFA’s cutting-edge digital expertise and infrastructure.
