Elphinstone Institute Ethnographic Film Series
Fraserburgh on Film is an online archive of digital moving image shot by residents of Fraserburgh and its surrounding areas throughout the 20th century. It was created by Andrew Davidson as part of an MSc dissertation project undertaken at Robert Gordon University. The idea behind the project was to utilise elements of digital storytelling and participatory heritage to celebrate the unique language and traditions native to the North East of Scotland through the digitalisation and collation of moving image, with a focus on the stories that surround these moments captured on film. As well as looking at some of the highlights from the collection, the talk will touch upon the inspiration behind the creation of Fraserburgh on Film and the use of moving image as a means to bring people together in a digital space to reflect upon their shared heritage. The project can be viewed at fraserburghonfilm.com. In this event, Andrew will be presenting some of the films from the archive and discussing the films and the archive as a whole.
Andrew Davidson was born and brought up in Fraserburgh, on the North East corner of Scotland. His first media job found him in Asia producing Mongolia’s first, and possibly only, English language children’s TV show. Since then he has worked on a number of projects, most recently creating Fraserburgh on Film. Andrew has an interest in the heritage and traditions of the North East and enjoys producing work which highlights these.
