Twenty years on from the groundbreaking Amsterdam workshop Disorderly Order: Colours in Silent Film, this conference will celebrate this milestone anniversary by providing a new forum to explore contemporary archival and academic debates around colour in the silent era.

The conference will explore a diverse range of archival and academic topics and provide a stimulating environment for specialists from across different disciplines. It will also include screenings of restored and/or rarely seen films.

The keynote speakers will be filmmaker and writer Peter Delpeut (Lyrical Nitrate and Diva Dolorosa), Tom Gunning (University of Chicago) and Vanessa Toulmin (National Fairground Archive/University of Sheffield). Read more
