What is the necessity of the dei film archive platform?
The DEI Film Archive is a groundbreaking digital platform that reshapes our interaction with horror and its therapeutic influence across various sectors. Through its state-of-the-art coding and tagging systems, DFA generates DEI-specific recommendation lists, educational resources, and community tools to address contemporary issues. The platform advocates for alternative methods of learning and information gathering, ensuring the most precise and comprehensive insights. Furthermore, the platform establishes THA pedagogy and film literacy as reputable approaches to comprehending complex subjects. By engaging with the DEI Film Archive, you join a community dedicated to diversity, equity, and inclusion, leveraging the power of horror to propel positive change.
How is THE DIGITAL PLATFORM related to THE larger VISION OF THE Horror Advocate project?
The Horror Advocate is a content creation and research project that meets inequities at their root rather than their symptomatic effect, developing resources focusing on Horror and social justice. THA is divided into three sections: Data gathering and analysis, Preservation and Archives, and Pedagogy/Community Response Models. The app draws all these pieces together.
