Warm-up – Specialist event II: Presentation


With: Niklas Hütter (Deutsche Kinemathek)

 

The AVefi project has been developing a cross-institutional, web-based system using Persistent Identifiers (PID) to identify and link audiovisual works, their versions and data objects from diverse collections. It aims to standardize networks of scientific metadata, improving research infrastructures for film studies, digital humanities and cultural heritage. The system uses uniform film identifiers (efi) as a central database, integrating metadata from various institutions in an automated, structured way to ensure long-term data availability. By supporting automatic synchronization and disambiguation, it complements existing identifier ecosystems (e.g., Filmportal, EIDR) and prioritizes educational, scientific, and short films. The two-year DFG project is a collaboration between TIB, Stiftung Deutsche Kinemathek, GWDG and the Filmmuseum Düsseldorf, focusing on modular development, metadata management and inclusive participation from smaller institutions.

About the festival

Film Restored

Under the motto “Action”, Film Restored 2025 throws a spotlight on agency and fast action in film and film history, and on the swift work of those who rescue film material. From 22 to 26 October, the film heritage festival is celebrating its tenth year. Attendees of the festival can look forward to digital restorations, workshops, talks and discussions. Films made in thirteen countries will be shown, from as early as the 1910s and up until 2000. The Prize of the Association of German Cinematheques will also be presented during the festival.
