Cinema and Television History Research Institute

cathi-logo-imgThe Cinema and Television History Research Institute (CATHI) is a centre of excellence in archival screen heritage. It specialises in evidence-based methods and oral history approaches to inform ground-breaking interdisciplinary research and RCUK-funded international collaborations.

CATHI is home to the cross-faculty Centre for Adaptations (with English Literature), and houses a growing number of unique collections including the Hammer Script Archive, the Cinema Museum’s Indian Cinemas Archive (at ¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ), the Sir Norman Wisdom Collection and the Peter Whitehead Archive. We host the annual UK Asian Film Festival, the BFI British Silent Film Festival and the post-graduate conference CATHICon; we promote practice-based research via the DocHub@¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ. CATHI’s research outputs and impact activities will be submitted to UOA33 in REF2021.

In REF2014 CATHI came first in its panel in terms of ‘world-leading’ (4*) research outputs: almost half received this rating. 100% of our Impact and 90% of our Environment was judged to be ‘world-leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’.
