[RNLD] Fwd: Pitcairn Island trailer film

[Lauren Gawne]

ELAR had a project last year, working with a small UK video production
company (Chouette Films) to turn video materials from 6 collections in the
archive into short documentary films. I think this is probably the easiest
way to access them all:

My archive of Syuba materials was one of the collections, it was an
interesting experience and the final production quality of the videos is
very impressive.

Cheers,

Lauren
