SASE locates, collects, preserves, provides access to and promotes screen material related to the South East and to screen history in general. Founded in 1992 at the University of Brighton, the Archive celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2012.
Our collection includes magic lantern slides, film, videotape, digital formats and associated hardware and documentation. There are now over 9,000 films and more than 10,000 nineteenth-century lantern slides as well as a significant collection of projectors, cameras and related artefacts.
The film material came from record offices, museums, businesses, local authorities, families and private collections across the region. It includes corporate documentaries, promotional material produced for seaside resorts and the military and works by cine clubs, independent film-makers and families.
These moving image records capture many aspects of life, work and creativity from across the 20th century and therefore serve as a rich and invaluable historical resource.
Screen Archive contributes to exploration of seaside history.
Brighton musicians create special scores for amateur fiction films.
Archives-based community project to capture memories of life on the coast.
