He joined the BFI in 2018 as a trainee, sponsored by ICON, initially working in the video conservation team, where he worked to preserve legacy formats, and subsequently in other departments within the National Archive, including the curatorial team. His current post is sponsored by the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation. Since joining the curatorial team, Xavier has worked across a number of collections, including Video Nation and the Central Office of Information film collections.
