Dear All: I am very pleased to announce that the web/microsite devoted
to the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage is up and running – Take a look
to see our official countdown to Saturday’s events around the world! Please note that there is a link for the World Day AV
Heritage Trailer which was compiled from collections and filmmakers from around
the globe. Many, many thanks to the AMIA members who contributed such
fantastic material for this project: Eileen Aiken, Margie Compton, and Sarah
Ziebell in particular. Several hundred DVDs of this trailer are being
circulated at the UNESCO General Conference this week and will be played to
delegates in attendance in honor of the World Day. (The theme of the
trailer, “Planet Earth: From Place to Space,” was UNESCO’s
theme for 2007.) Please be sure to keep those AMIA anecdotes coming – this
is a really great opportunity to get the word out in reference to all of the
great work our members are doing!! -
