“Archival Film Curatorship offers a vital contribution to moving image archiving studies. Grounded in Gadamer’s philosophical hermeneutics and extensive, original archival research, the book simultaneously reminds us that silent films’ historicity are products of deep-rooted institutional traditions, while showing a way forward for film curation amidst the accelerating datafication of film heritage.” -- Dr. Christian Olesen, Assistant Professor Digital Media & Cultural Heritage, University of Amsterdam "Ingravalle brilliantly explores the histories of three key film archives as institutions established in the 20th century that have revised and transformed their missions in the digital era. Archival practices and archival theories are intertwined in this penetrating study of film and media histories and futures." -- Catherine Russell, Distinguished Professor of Film Studies, Concordia University, Montreal
