DESCRIPTION:With: Netzwerk Lost Video History dffb It’s a risky business\, 
 telling stories from the margins while relying on the notoriously unstable
  video signal\; likewise\, archiving unstable magnetic tapes nearing the e
 nd of their lifespan. Students at the German Film and Television Academy B
 erlin (DFFB) produce not only films but also videos\, the earliest known o
 f which date back to 1969. In 1980\, working with video became part of the
  mandatory curriculum. Today\, most of these videos are no longer availabl
 e\; the tapes have been scattered and are in urgent need of archival rescu
 e. In this presentation\, we will take a brief look at the DFFB’s history 
 of working with video\, its archiving practice and the significant gaps wi
 thin the archive. We will also ask what is required to preserve and digiti
 ze video. And we will discuss what students back then thought about archiv
 ing and the institutions that undertake this task. If archiving is about p
 reservation and conservation\, how do we archive a medium characterized pr
 ecisely by its instability and fluidity? A risky business indeed. In Engli
