Bridgeman Images is pleased to announce its latest partnership with The Ingebrigtson 16mm Film Archive Project & Collection, a home movie collection showcasing everyday life in northern Canada, including shots of notable faces and its unique wildlife.
The Ingebrigtson 16mm Film Archive Project & Collection, currently maintained by Sheila Ingebrigtson-Stewart, is an archived film collection capturing an early and mid-century context of an immigrant family’s life as they settled, worked, and overcame hardships in a northern Canadian climate and in isolated communities. From the celebrities and officials who visited, to the wildlife and landscapes they encountered, amateur video footage captured a unique and changing historical context.
Sheila, a second-generation Canadian and the youngest of her immigrant parents, has extended her passion for lifelong learning, teaching, research, and writing into creating a tapestry of intertwined visual media and memories to help weave the past and help connect its threads to the present and future.

Global ImageWorks recently received high-resolution scans of all of photographer Barry Feinstein's contact sheets from Bob Dylan's 1966 European tour. These unedited frames offer a rare look into Feinstein's creative process during a pivotal moment as Dylan made his shift from folk hero to rock 'n' roll star.
"The mutual trust we had for each other is reflected in these photographs. He knew I would make him look interesting – and he was interesting. I knew I was in the presence of genius," Feinstein once reflected. "What often makes a piece of music great are the notes left out. And it's like that with photography; knowing when to take a shot and, more importantly, when not to.”
This instinct for capturing authentic moments is evident throughout the contact sheets, revealing both Dylan's transformation and the methodology behind some of rock photography's defining images, all now available for licensing through Global ImageWorks.

Historic London-based media company British Pathé today announces the appointment of James Hoyle as its new Chief Executive Officer.
Hoyle replaces Alastair White, who headed British Pathé (first as General Manager and, from 2017, as CEO) since its independence from the Daily Mail and General Trust 15 years ago. Although stepping down as CEO, White will remain on the Board of Directors.
Under White’s stewardship, British Pathé built a reputation as an unparalleled source of archive footage for the documentary markets, as well as for museums, schools, and the general public alike. It twice won Footage Library of the Year at the FOCAL International Awards, co-produced a number of well-received documentaries (including 2011’s ‘The Story of British Pathé’ with the BBC), signed lucrative representation deals, and revived the company’s fortunes after decades of near-dormancy.
Hoyle will now be tasked with protecting the long-term future of the prestigious British Pathé brand and the priceless newsreel archive in its care, as well as maintaining revenue growth during a difficult time for the industry.
An internal hire, Hoyle first joined British Pathé in 2011 as a recent graduate from the University of Cambridge, from which he holds First Class Honours in History. As he worked his way up the ranks, Hoyle played a major part in the company’s successes, such as achieving 3 million YouTube subscribers, the inclusion of Reuters’ historical collection in the company’s archive offering, the launching of a new website, and the closing of historic deals in emerging markets. He has served as Chief Operating Officer since June 2023.
Outgoing CEO Alastair White said, “I am very happy to hand over the reins to James Hoyle. He understands and loves British Pathé better than anyone else and the archive could not be in safer hands.”
James Hoyle said of his appointment, “I’ve spent my entire working life so far at British Pathé and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love the company, its history, and its unrivaled content. I couldn’t be happier to have been appointed to the role or more appreciative of the trust placed in me by Alastair White and the Board. I’m excited by the task ahead of me.”
About British Pathé

Spanning the years 1896 to 1984, the collection includes footage from around the globe of major events, famous faces, fashion trends, travel, science, and culture.

As we approach the 30th anniversary of the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to Yasser Arafat, Yitzhak Rabin, and Shimon Peres in 1994, this milestone happens during a troubled time with the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, which began on October 7, 2023.
To reflect on how the past continues to resonate today as we witness the enduring search for peace in this troubled region, INA would like to share a collection of footage about the Israel-Palestine conflict. This archival collection spans from the end of the British mandate in 1947 to the Yom Kippur War in 1973, documenting the creation of the state of Israel, the Israeli-Arab wars, and the everyday lives of both Israelis and Palestinians.
In today’s context, INA believes that this collection can offer an essential historical perspective, shedding light on the deep-seated tensions that continue to fuel conflict in the region.
In 1915 actor/director Francis Ford, older brother of John Ford, directed and starred in THE HEART OF LINCOLN for Universal Pictures. As Moving Picture World described it in its January 30, 2015 edition “The part of Lincoln played by Francis Ford transcends any previous stage picture of the Great Emancipator with stirring battle scenes that wronged old Abe’s’ tender heart ... the supremist satisfaction to all." Both Ford brothers were obsessed with Lincoln and older brother Francis portrayed him in at least seven films. All considered “lost” save for the recently unearthed 1912 two reeler, WHEN LINCOLN PAID. Historic Film’s summer intern Daniel Martin, a student in Film Preservation at Toronto Metropolitan University, discovered the five 16mm reels while organizing a vault of Historic Films’ uncatalogued films.
Historic Film’s CEO Joe Lauro says, “These prints were likely struck for the emerging home and non-theatrical markets which begun in earnest after Kodak introduced 16mm film in 1923, the majority of silent era nitrate 35mm films are long gone but on occasion their 16mm counterparts, all on “safety” film have re-emerged.
In 1967, director Bert Tenzer produced and directed a wacky “Summer Of Love” comic Sci Fi extravaganza titled "2000 YEARS LATER". Described in it’s day as “A satirical film on fads in the USA, TV host (Casey Kasem!) on a late night show tries to convince his viewers that they should return to Rome and Roman ways…” The film includes the most gorgeous coverage of the March 1967 Los Angeles “Love-In” and rather high budget depictions of Roman battles. Historic, with the cooperation of the Tenzer estate, has given the film, unseen since 1969, a 6K redo, which includes a startling amount of outtakes like the Sunset Strip riots, LA topless bars, and Go-Go clubs. Besides the cast that includes Terry Thomas, Edward Everett Horton, and the band Peanut Butter Conspiracy the Roman outfits were designed by “topless” inventor Rudi Gernreigh. Lauro says “ these sorts of discoveries are what keeps me, after 40 plus years, in this business”.

Bridgeman Images is pleased to announce their latest motion artist partnership with Steve Pavlovsky of Liquid Light Lab.
Liquid Light Lab is the work of Steve Pavlovsky, a multi-dimensional light artist from New York City. A majority of his work utilizes liquid projection, experimental media, and hand-made organic elements first seen in the Psychedelic Light Shows of the 1960s. Following on the visual music traditions of Kandinsky, Thomas Wilfred, and The Joshua Light Show, Mr. Pavlovsky invokes the sublime and spiritual.
Building upon an analog relationship to Light and Time, Pavlovsky has created Liquid Light Lab, a living, breathing, visual expression of music, nature, and the human spirit. Concurrent with live performance and installation, Liquid Light Lab is also a vehicle for public information about Light Shows, and provides tools and guidance to other artists around the world.
Bridgeman Images will hold native HD, 4K, and 8K digital captures of Pavlovsky's work, with the ability to upscale videos up to 8K. Hi-resolution stills will also be available for licensing as well as for print and product on demand.
