- Title
The Screen Archive South East: Non-Fiction Film in Fashion History.
- Authors
Eck, Carly; Kauffman, Hannah
- Abstract
Regional screen archives, including film, video and digital media, protect the local vicinity's film heritage. Such archives generally fall outside the fashion historian's consciousness. There is a wealth of information on fiction film and fashion, but non-fiction film remains an underused source. This article examines the Screen Archive South East (SASE) based at the University of Brighton. The archive has a rich collection of amateur and professional non-fiction film from the late nineteenth century to the present day. The archive's resources inspired a collaborative project between the SASE and the Royal College of Art (RCA) entitled Screen Search Fashion. It investigated dress from the inter-war period, an era that saw significant changes in fashion. The resulting online resource includes film clips, stills, descriptions, contextual information and links to further archival sources. This article discusses the Screen Search Fashion project and presents three case studies showing how the films at SASE offer a rare glimpse into people's lives and their clothing choices.
