OVERVIEW

The Archive Valley Masterclass

Archival storytelling is on the rise, but at Archive Valley, we know that many documentary professionals feel daunted about how to start & where to start an archival research process.

So we took action, by developing a 3-week online course about the ins & outs of archival research. This is quite unique in the film & tv industry, and we're proud because it's now our 5th edition!

Engaging and practical, the Archive Valley Masterclass is a mix of live sessions and online lessons delivered weekly, and enhanced with best practices from renowned archive producers.

Our objectives are to empower you with archival knowledge & skills, and help you deal efficiently with the many aspects of archival research, from pre-production through to master deliveries.

Not only will you learn how to start the process on good tracks so as to avoid frustrating challenges on the path, but you will also come away with a solid methodology for your next projects.

Amongst our past attendees, we've been happy to welcome directors, producers, production coordinators, post-production supervisors, editors, as well as aspiring archive researchers.

The course suits all kinds of nonfiction projects and is particularly relevant for freelancers and team members willing to level their skills up, and get ready for their upcoming docs and docu-series.
