Every year NECS, the European Network for Cinema and Media Studies, brings together a remarkable amount of archivists and scholars from all over the continent. After London, Lund and Istanbul, the 2012 NECS conference “Time Networks: Screen Media and Memory” took place in Lisbon on 21-23 June. Several of the papers given over the course of this three day event were particularly relevant to EUscreen. Conference report by Erwin Verbruggen and Berber Hagedoorn
