The British Film Institute National Archive is one of the largest archive of its kind in the world.  It began as the National Film Library in 1935.  Four years later it was located in Aston Clinton and moved to Berkhamsted in 1987.  As such it is very much part of our Chiltern Heritage.

This Festival talk is by Aston Clinton resident Angelo Lucatello. Film Conservation Specialist at the  BFI National Archive.

Angelo worked at the archive in Aston Clinton from starting on a Government run (YOP) Youth Opportunity Programme in 1982.  His talk covers a brief history of the archive, its people, restorations, processes and eventually its move to its new home in Berkhamsted.
