Longford Lyell Lecture Series
Filmmaker Rolf de Heer presents the 2005
Longford Lyell lecture in Melbourne
Inaugurated in 2001, the National Film and Sound Archive's Longford Lyell Lecture series is named in honour of the filmmaking team of Raymond Longford (1878-1959) and Lottie Lyell (1890-1925) - respectively director and leading player in Australia's silent film classic The Sentimental Bloke (1919).
The series celebrates the work of national and international screen personalities and provides them with an opportunity to discuss cultural issues of major relevance in the art, industry and scholarship of the moving image.
Longford Lyell lecturers are selected by the National Film and Sound Archive. The lectures become part of the NFSA's collections and are made available to bona fide researchers, scholars and students interested in the art and history of film, its cultural heritage and preservation for posterity.
