Echoes in Motion: Heritage Film Week

Event details

Film has the power to make history breathe again — to turn archives into emotions, and memories into motion.
Echoes in Motion: Heritage Film Week is a seven-day celebration of cinematic storytelling dedicated to the preservation, restoration, and reimagining of cultural heritage through film.

This annual event brings together filmmakers, archivists, historians, and audiences from around the world to explore how cinema captures identity, memory, and transformation. From rare archival screenings to contemporary reinterpretations, Echoes in Motion is a dialogue between the past and the screen.

Visitors are invited to watch, learn, and participate — rediscovering forgotten reels, exploring restoration techniques, and engaging in conversations about the role of film in preserving our collective story.
