AN event is being held to celebrate the launch of digital archive BFI Replay in Inverclyde.
It takes place in Greenock Central Library, Wallace Place, on Thursday 21 August, 5.30pm to 6.45pm.
It will explore the archives and collaborative work of the British Film Institute (BFI) and National Library of Scotland, including a screening of the 1974 short film, Sea City — Greenock.
