The project of developing film and video collection builds upon my personal interests in film and also recognizes a need amongst students and staff working at Konstfack for such a resource. In the current climate where emphasis often falls on the image production and consumption, it is crucial to be able to link current developments in art practice to the historical material and discourses surrounding it. This kind of knowledge seems essential in the educational environment, which builds its expertise on the understanding of the present through the past. By having a collection on site, students and staff are encouraged to use the material in their teaching and learning.
