Paolo Cherchi Usai – the Italian curator and former head of the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia (NFSA) – once put forward an elegant definition of moving image preservation, calling it “the science of gradual loss and the art of coming to terms with its consequences”. Those melancholic words present the dispossession of our celluloid and digital pasts as inevitable, and efforts to maintain them a will-o’-the-wisp exercise: impossible to achieve, like reaching the gold at the end of the rainbow.
But loss is far from the first thing that comes to mind after watching the second season of SBS’s four-part documentary series Australia in Colour. Separated into different themes, the first episode is devoted to family, exploring issues such as changing gender roles, the stolen generations and the arrival of contraceptive pills; the second, about sport, investigates national heroes and drinking culture.

New galleries due to open in London s Imperial War Museum later this year will challenge commonly held views about the Holocaust, with a focus on the ordinary people who carried out the atrocity.
The Second World War and Holocaust Galleries will explore themes of persecution, escalation, the development of violence toward Jewish people, and the rise in tensions that followed World War I. The Holocaust looms large in contemporary culture but the version of it that looms large isn t necessarily the historic occurrence that was the Holocaust, it s a kind-of constructed, cultural re-imagining of it, historian James Bulgin, in charge of the new Holocaust Galleries content, told CNN.
