1. Introducing speech of Nosarchives by Cecilia Pagliarani
London, 29 september 2012 FIAT/IFTA
We are honored to tell our story in this archive’s conference, guardians of
global memory.
nosarchives.com is just a little voice in this throbbing heart, but we have
decided to share our experience because we have created this small
structure that deals with amateur film and pictures of all formats from
1928 for film and from 1895 for pictures. We know how much inedits
materials are important for the broadcasters work.
nosarchives.com it works and sell!
My associate Manuel Kleidman and me had been through a lot for the
creation of this archive, because in Bracciano, the wonderful place where
we have decided to live and work, there is no optical fiber, though is just
30 km from Rome, and because the media business was focused in the
big cities.
Finally we turned this difficulties in opportunities:
through a contest from Regione Lazio, we have obtained a big
office in a very useful business center;

2. Bracciano is a country full of memories, where there is the only
medieval castle still inhabitated by the same family (Odescalchi).
Here, our idea and company’s mission were widely accepted;
After only 6 months our collection had 4000 reels and now,
two years later, we have exceeded 13000. This means this is a hard
work for a small company with 8 people, where everyday new
footage are described and published and where new collaboration
are done.
nosarchives.com was born by the family collection, by neighbor, by
family around us and through speaking with people is growing. The
authors and their heirs give to us their memories, we restore and
digitalize them in Full HD. After that we return to the authors or their heirs
the established economical share.
The creation of nosarchives.com website is like an adventure film. With
Fabio Torchetti, now ours IT manager, we have created a consulting and
e-commerce platform and we are very satisfied with it, because it is in
continuing transformation so that has been named “ Penelope’s canvas”.
Thanks to this experience we can now organize others archive and Fabio
Torchetti will explain the passionate path that as lead to Leda Memory.
But our work isn’t just storage and digitalization: in September 2012, with
the patronage of the town of Bracciano and in collaboration with some
local association, we have arranged “Il Gusto Della Memoria” (The Taste
of Memory), the first festival of the common memory through amateur

3. footage. This festival will travel from city to city like in the 60’s.
Furthermore, in June 2013, we will replay the Festival in Chatenay
Malabry in France and NeusaB in Germany, the two partner town of
Bracciano. And we‘re playing to transform it in a travelling festival , during
the 2014.
This year we have presented the archive at Venice Festival where we
have obtained an important visibility. Nosarchives.com raises curiosity:
producers, documentary filmmakers and reserchers but also private who
wants to join us and become a “memory’s agent”.
In conclusion, the future: in the next month nosarchives.com has a lot of
parallel project to develop:
organization an amateurs XXI° century film Festival with film
from our collection with voting on the web. In collaboration with an
Italian cinematographic information portal.
growing of ours collaboration with the Universities of Perugia,
RomaTre, and Bicocca of Milano for visual anthropology project and
we are working to make wider ours abroad collaborations
we will participate with our picture’s collection of 1900 of Mujik
pilgrimage to Jerusalem for “Soggetti Migranti” at Pigorini Museum
of Rome
at last, the most ambitious project, our will is to nullify the gap
from the original object to the web publication. This may appear just
like a detail, but it’s an hard work!
Now I give the word to Manuel Kleidman and Fabio Torchetti, thank you.
