Film and Video Archive

The UWC-Robben Island Mayibuye Archive offers an extensive and unique film-video library and archive of documentary recordings, news footage, stock footage from film and video production projects and a comprehensive catalogue with shot lists to facilitate access. The core of the collection came from IDAF in London, where it grew in response to the needs of international solidarity with the struggle against apartheid. It became a valuable research resource and many of the productions were networked internationally to raise awareness about the situation in South Africa. Most of these films and videos were banned in South Africa before 1990.
