2011–2012
Archival research into early cinema at EYE Film Institute Netherlands in Amsterdam and Lobster Films in Paris, undertaken during the Binger residency and the development of Rey. Work with these film collections complemented the development of the screenplay.
The visits to EYE in 2011 and 2012 included research into film preservation, restoration methods and the storage of historical film materials. The research also included a visit to Haghefilm, a private professional laboratory in the Netherlands. EYE and Lobster Films are presented here as archival research sites, distinct from a commercial film laboratory.
This earlier research is connected to Rey, Burials and Burial: Subterranean Light. It is separate from Celulo-ia, the CORFO-funded project carried out in 2023–2024. The links below connect the two research periods without treating them as a single project.
The photographs document the research visits to EYE. No photographs of Lobster Films or Haghefilm are included in this selection.
The research notebooks from these visits are gathered in Rey Journals 1 — Archival research.
