Step inside the Archive: BFI Replay and the Media Archive for Central England

30th October 2025 @ 1:00 pm - 2:15 pm GMT
Free

To celebrate Green Libraries Week and the launch of BFI Replay across Leicester City Libraries, join us for this unique, free event exploring the archives and collaborative work of the British Film Institute and the Media Archive for Central England (MACE), including a special screening of CPRE Leicestershire’s 1970 film ‘Leicestershire a Heritage at Risk’.    

BFI Replay is a free-to-access, digital archive uncovering stories from across the UK, its history and its people and is available exclusively in UK public libraries.    

Join us to hear archival insights from the BFI and MACE and watch curated highlights from BFI Replay itself.  

In addition, this event will include a special screening of the short film ‘Leicestershire: A Heritage at Risk’, produced by Leicester and Leicestershire Cine Society in 1970 for the Leicestershire branch of CPRE, which was then known as the Council for the Protection of Rural England.  A wonderful wander through the beautiful countryside of Leicestershire, while the commentary explains how the pressures of modern life are threatening to destroy this idyll.  Fifty-five years on, have CPRE’s concerns been realised or has the county been saved?
