Zoë’s research seeks to explore gender and class in the amateur film collection of WFSA between the years of 1920-1950. WFSA is a regional repository for historic film and sound items from Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire and holds over 38,000 items. Of this number exist some 12,000 cinefilms. Zoë seeks to explore how issues of visibility, attribution and representation impact on our understanding of this regional collection and how this can serve to contribute to a wider view of amateur filmmaking in the UK. Zoë has a background in historic textiles and dress and in particular the interaction between gender, socio-economics and lived experience, as depicted in amateur film.
