Today’s guest is an accomplished film preservationist and archivist named Snowden Becker who I heard interviewed on  The Cinephiliacs podcast a little while ago and made note of her many accomplishments. I knew immediately she was someone I was eager to learn from and listen to. There’s a reason why you’ll find many links in the show notes this time, because she has a lot to offer in a variety of ways. Her research interests focus on how audiovisual materials are integrated into, accessed, and preserved as part of a larger cultural heritage. She helped launch the annual international Home Movie Day and explored the increasingly pivotal role of audiovisual recordings in the criminal justice system, the latter of which we didn’t get to explore as much, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we talk some more in the future because Snowden provides a plethora of information and insight.

Episode 94: Snowden Becker

For episode 3, I talk to the fabulous Snowden Becker about a whole slew of things from home movies to the feminization of certain jobs in the police force to her own very critical work on police-worn body cameras and their impact on the evidentiary process. I'll say this about every episode because all my guests are super amazing but the info here is just mind-blowing. Don't miss it!

Archivist's Alley, Episode 3: Snowden Becker- Home Movies, Archives and Law Enforcement

While this show has often staked its interest in the kinds of audiovisual materials we come to praise as art, there are many different types of moving image materials out there. None feels more pertinent to our moment today than the discussions around the introduction of police body-worn cameras alongside the amateur videos that display evidence of police brutality toward members of the African American community. To address these topics is often to approach them from one of politics, but a surrounding series of questions deals with many of the same questions that cinema-minded people might find familiar: what can we learn from analyzing how they were made? What elements are manipulation are present? How will these videos be stored? What access should the public have? What is the emotional affect of viewing them?  Today's guest, Snowden Becker, has worked as a program manager for UCLA's Moving Image Archive program and the co-founder of Home Movie Day. She's also spent over a decade researching the judicial system's management of audiovisual material, and is the co-manager of this week's National Forum, "On The Record, All The Time: Setting An Agenda for Audiovisual Management," which will bring together legal scholars, social justice activists, camera manufacturers, and the LAPD among others to workshop these issues. In this episode of the podcast, Snowden discusses many of the issues that come out of a cinephile interest when it comes to thinking about these types of videos, as well as what it means to be a public citizen engaging in this emerging genre. 0:00-4:10 Opening 5:13-11:16 Establishing Shots — O.J.: Made in America 12:00-1:06:48 Deep Focus — Snowden Becker 1:07:21-1:11:32 Sponsorship Section 1:10:59-1:32:14 Double Exposure — Police Body Cameras and Evidentiary Videos 1:32:18-1:33:56 Close
