In the 1990s, hundreds of men and women from all over Britain recorded their memories of cinemagoing during the 1930s--a decade when 'going to the pictures' was everybody's favourite spare time activity. From these carefully gathered and systematically recorded testimonies, 'cinema memory' emerges as a distinctive expression of cultural memory, a discovery that continues to inspire new studies of the remembered cinema experience.

This collection presents current research on cinema memory across a range of historical and national contexts, including Australia, Britain, Italy, Japan and Turkey. It features reflections on how best to record and preserve cinemagoing memories and make them accessible, with a particular focus on issues around digital archiving and research websites.
