Summary:

It all began in the autumn of 2017, with the exploration of UNESCO's audiovisual collections, after their transfer to the Organization's archives. Most of the collections had barely been indexed in their almost seventy years of existence. Walking through these archives was a bit like visiting Jorges Luis Borges' The Library of Babel. With thousands of documents in the archives, the only way to get an idea of how the collection was organized, was simply to open the drawers of the many old filing cabinets and take a look inside.
