Welcome to Alaska!

On behalf of the Board and the Conference Committee, we would like to extend awelcome that is as big, as unique and as exceptional as Alaska itself for oursixteenth annual conference.

Every year the challenge of selecting and scheduling events for the conferenceincreases, and for good reason. The number of proposals from the membershiphas doubled, the breadth of topics continues to increase, and speakers are comingto the conference from all over the world. Building on last year’s Committee andInterest Group Review process, proposals are also reviewed by a Peer Reviewpanel that includes representation from all of AMIA ‘s committees of the member-ship as well as our many interest groups and task forces. The most difficult part ofthe process is knowing that we’re unable to schedule all of the excellent proposalssubmitted.

And we’re excited about this year’s program. Part of our goal each year is to explorethe concerns of the moving image community we are visiting. Alaska has a strongregional focus that you will find reflected in the programing this year. We will alsobe celebrating the 50th anniversary of the quad videotape (AMIPA does boast astill-working quad machine in its office!) and the second in our series of regionalworkshops, “Triage Training: Tools for Assessing the Condition of Legacy andMaster Tapes.”

The Archival Screening night is on Thursday, and we’ll enjoy dinner and the screen-ing in Anchorage’s own Bear Tooth Theatre Pub. The theatre is unique, the foodexcellent, and a great way to officially welcome one and all to Anchorage.The Conference takes a lot of people working together - the Committee is com-posed of many volunteer members who have worked tirelessly to make AMIA 2006a reality. So to all of them, thank you!

Thank you for joining us in the unique and incomparable city of Anchorage. Havea great week!

Continuous Public Screening: 60 Years of British Public Information FilmsFoyer

Hosted by: Regional Audio-Visual Archives Interest GroupCurated by: Tony Dykes – COI Footage File

The British “Central Office of Information” (COI) is celebrating its 60th birthdaythis year. Set up in 1946 to replace the wartime Ministry of Information theCOI has produced a vast array of films to promote health, safety and welfarein Britain and to push British interests abroad. It continues to produce films tothis day, mostly for domestic consumption.

This reel shall provide us with a small selection of the best from the last 60years - starting with an early public information film advising people to watchtheir water consumption through to a film about a modern day health concern –eating five portions of fruit and vegetables a day. In between we shall see howthe COI projected Britain abroad, how it reflected the social upheavals followingWWII and how it warned its citizens against a myriad of dangers –too many tomention here! Enjoy and be informed!

Chair: Sara J. Holmes, Texas Tech University

Presenter: Monona Rossol, Arts, Crafts, and Theater Safety, Inc.

Issues regardingpersonal safety, training requirements, and personal equipment needed toenter a disaster site will also be covered. Included in the training will beenough basic information for participants to qualify for a certificateattesting that they have had hazard communication training and technicaltraining in respiratory and personal protective equipment.

Monona Rossol is currently President of Arts, Crafts, and Theater Safety,Inc. and specializes in OSHA training of art, theater, museum andconservation workers. She is the author of numerous publications.

Academic programs in moving image archiving have only been in place fora few years. In this time, the discipline has already undergone greatdevelopments, and some important discussions have been raised, not leastdue to the fact that a self-understanding of the profession is still beingshaped. The existing graduate programs are a place for continuous criticalreflection of the discipline, helping to place it in historical context. In short,these programs contribute considerably to form a body of knowledge thatwill become the legacy of our profession. This roundtable discussion, whichbrings together three professionals and three (former) students, will evolvearound the question, which role can these programs actually play in theshaping of a professional identity in moving image archiving and how farcan the graduate programs equip its students with the necessary knowledgefor the needs of a discipline as diverse as moving image archiving.

What’s the role of low temperature in preservation and how does storage atlow temperature help the lifespan of film materials? When is lowtemperature preservation storage a viable option and how do we make thatdecision with the need to balance access to the collection? As a tool, lowtemperature storage can be used to allow time for making informeddecisions, allocating resources for preservation, or as a long-termpreservation solution. The presentation will cover science and casestudies, addressing the reasons why and how a need for cold storage isassessed and concluded, detail chosen solutions, and include time fordiscussion.

Most film-based television programs made in the past 15 years have beenpost-produced in Standard Definition video. Preserving and re-purposingthese episodics for High Definition is a new challenge for content holders.Series such as Seinfeld are a preservation predicament, because, althoughthe original camera negatives exist, they were never fully conformedfollowing post-production and broadcast. Therefore, titles and specialeffects don’t exist in any other form but standard definition video. Theproblems, pitfalls, and creative solutions involved with accuratelyrebuilding each program for HD. Much of today’s advanced technologywas employed to recreate each episode. Preservation of episodic materialposits special problems, which will be examined as we address variousalternatives for safeguarding this type of programming.

But with the adventure and fulfillmentcome practicalities and complexities. How do you cope with a foreignlanguage, culture and diet, and develop productive peer relationships? Howdo you discern the politics and practicalities of the archive’s environment?How do you honor promises and maintain contacts after the event?

Much more than a cataloging utility and archivedirectory, MIC serves as a window to the world’s moving images forcollaborative research, education, professional development, and as atool for enabling preservation strategies. During MIC’s first phase ofdevelopment, its integrated union catalog, archive directory, and portalstructure were set in place. Envisioned for phase two is a digital rightsimplementation, the development of a METS-compliant cataloging utilityto enable archives to manage resources throughout their entire lifecycle, and a Service Providers Directory. Panelists representingdifferent communities will briefly share their involvement or interest inMIC and provide their perspective on how they envision MIC for thefuture. A moderated discussion with panelists and audience members willfollow, with topics culled from responses to a MIC survey.

Many independent film and media organizations rely on interns andvolunteer staff to support their existing infrastructure. Interns are criticaland without them many organizations cannot effectively accomplish theirarchiving and access missions. Cataloging films and videotapes are nolonger sufficient to maintain an archive and new media requires morecomplex skills that require additional training in digitizing, data storage anddistribution. This panel will explore and examine how several new mediaoriented organizations such as Witness, Democracy Now, the SanFrancisco Media Archive, Oddball Film+Video and The Canadian Filmmak-ers Distribution Centre have developed successful new training andmentorship models that advance the goals of both organizations andinterns.

University

Archivists existing within the framework of academic institutions areincreasingly under pressure from a number of budgetary, philosophical,economic, and political elements, all of which can, if contrarian enough,cause an archive to lose its funding. Recently, at least three notable filmarchives within academic institutions have lost either all or partial funding.This panel serves as a warning to potentially everyone within the AMIAcommunity operating within institutions both inside and outside theacademy. This presentation is geared towards archivists whose librariesstruggle for budget and space; whose institutional advocate is weak ornonexistent; or who need additional alliances to the survival of the archive.

Daniel Wagner, George Eastman HouseAudrey Amidon, NARACarolyn Faber, Midwest Media Archives Alliance

Motion picture preservation always requires choices: which films topreserve, what elements to use, and what materials to create and vault.Preservationists working in a non-profit setting face these questions, plus anarray of more difficult choices. Do you spend limited funds to fully protectthe most difficult projects? Or do you spread your resources across thewidest number of titles? Some institutions may have mandates that guidethem to projects outside of their collections, and thus end up developing apreservation project with materials they don’t actually own or control.Negotiating the complex relationships between institutions, both commercialand non-profit, as well as with individual filmmakers, becomes essential.And while some archives have their own laboratories, at some point mostarchivists will have to send work to outside vendors. The preservationists onthis panel will examine these issues, citing examples of preservationprojects from their own archives.

Included will be a discussion ofthe work of Harlan Ingersol Smith (1872-1940), a pioneering ethnographicfilmmaker who worked among aboriginal communities of the PacificNorthwest during the 1920s. Smith’s films documented a period of proudtradition and profound change among the Bella Coola, Tsimshian, CoastSalish, Shuswap, Kootenay, Nootka and Carrier peoples of British Columbiaand contributed to an understanding of the cultures with which he worked, aswell as the wider relationship between ethnographers and the people theystudy. Also included will be a history of field recordings of native music inAlaska, discussing the work of the anthropologists and ethnomusicologistswho made the recordings-often under very challenging conditions.

Speakers: Chris Lacinak, IndependentMona Jimenez, Department of Cinema Studies, NYU

There is general consensus that moving image archivists need hands-onexperience with the media itself to accomplish preservation, but there is alack of clear understanding as to what degree of experience is appropriate.Video preservation training should attempt to resolve this question and offernew toolsets and resources to the video archivist, those which borrow from,but do not simply repeat, traditional technical training or archival education.The session will open with key concepts, theories and lessons learned inteaching video preservation in a lab setting, in an effort to define theframework for a syllabus that matches the evolving role of the movingimage archivist. The panel will then present a “straw-man” compendium ofconcepts, resources, practices and tools that support such a syllabus.

Hosted by: RAVA Interest Group

The Chuck Imig ANCSA Video Collection is certainly one of the mostimportant media collections in Alaska. This collection documents theprocess leading up to, and resulting from, the 1971 passage of theAlaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA). While not visuallycompelling, the collection documents a very important - and veryunique - aspect of Alaskan history and culture; one that still resonatestoday, worldwide, amongst people working on the various issuessurrounding the land rights of indigenous populations.

There is little question that the collection is quite valuable, historicallyspeaking, and should be preserved and made accessible to the public, inAlaska and beyond. The collection is currently in the possession ofChuck Imig, who produced the video. The purpose of the forum will beto discuss the collection — its content, production, and context inAlaskan and US history — as well as the issues surrounding preservingit, and making it accessible. Invited speakers include veteran Alaskanpoliticians and others who were directly involved in the ANCSA process.

Issues of diversity have been largely absent topics of discussion withinAMIA and the archival field as a whole. This session will bring some ofthese issues to the forefront by looking at representations of diverseidentities and cultures in amateur film and video. Amateur works are arich source of images of cultural groups who have been historicallyunderrepresented in mainstream cinema and in archival collections. Arethese forms of media being recognized, acquired, cared for, preservedand made accessible by archives? Each speaker will highlight specificcollections at their institution, discuss their value to the moving imageheritage of a particular marginalized group of people, and raise pertinentissues surrounding diversity within the field of moving image archiving.This panel is in conjunction with the screening entitled “On Screen: ACelebration of Diverse Identities and Cultures in Amateur Film andVideo” which will directly follow this panel.

Video producers are increasingly aware that descriptive and preservationmetadata based on industry standards can improve management andaccessibility of their content. But due to resource limitations anddeadlines, integrating preservation-based cataloging into the productionworkflow presents a difficult challenge.

Letter From An Unknown Woman (1948): “By the time you read thisletter, I may be dead,” reads aging bon vivant Louis Jourdan from a letterfound in his tiny hotel room. With tousled hair and a tux tired from yetanother night of meaningless flirtation, he’s startled by these openinglines and suspends his preparations to flee a duel in order to read thehistory of a love affair that he can’t remember. Joan Fontaine deliversone of the best performances of her career, vulnerable and yearningwithout lapsing into sentimentality—and ultimately showing a hiddenstrength as she risks all for one more moment with the love of her life.”(Amazon.com) Print courtesy of Paramount Pictures.

PARAMOUNT FPO

AMIA Silver Light AwardSam Kula, Archives Consultant

Sam Kula embodies the award criteria for his substantial contributions andleadership to the field. Sam’s nomination states, “His most significantcontribution was as Director of the National Film, Television and Sound Archivesat the National Archives of Canada, a position he occupied from essentially theinception of the program in 1973 to 1989. In this role, he nurtured thedevelopment of audio-visual archiving as a specialty within the NationalArchives, gave prominence to the program in the international communitythrough his participation in several international associations and has been aneloquent advocate of audio-visual archiving both within Canada and internation-ally.”

He is the author of The Archival Appraisal of Moving Images: A RAMP Study withGuidelines (UNESCO, 1983) and Appraising Moving Images : Assessing theArchival and Monetary Value of Film and Video Records (Scarecrow Press, 2003).He is also a founding member of the Board of the AV Preservation Trust, acharitable non-profit organization created in 1996 to promote the preservation of,and access to Canada’s audio-visual heritage. Sam has also held an active rolein AMIA, serving two consecutive terms as President, 2001-2004.

In addition, Sam played a major role in processing and preserving the DawsonCity film collection, 533 reels of film that were stored for 49 years in aswimming pool which was boarded up and paved as a hockey rink, in DawsonCity in the Yukon Territory, and discovered in 1978.

The Silver Light Award recognizes outstanding career achievement in moving image archiving. Measuresof achievement may include substantial contributions to the field over an extended period, leadership in thefield, work in professional societies or other professional activities, writings or publications, preservation andrestoration projects, innovations that advance the cause of preservation, and patronage donated to archivesor archival projects.

The Dan and Kathy Leab AwardMadeline Matz, Library of CongressMadeline Matz was enthusiastically nominated by two of her colleagues at theLibrary of Congress, who wrote that she “retired in January, 2006, but continuesto volunteer in the Division, working on important projects to help prepare for themove to the Library’s new National AudioVisual Conservation Center. Through-out her long and impressive career in motion picture preservation and reference,Madeline has been an inspiration to all her colleagues. As a preservationist, shehas worked tirelessly to identify, preserve, restore, and exhibit film. She helpedset the standards that have made our facility one of the finest publicly fundedpreservation laboratories in the world. As a reference librarian, her constantefforts on behalf of researchers and staff and her unparalleled knowledge of ourcollections have added tremendously to our collective understanding of mediahistory. The success of such efforts as the The Griffith Project, the multi-volume study of the creative output of D.W. Griffith, would be unthinkablewithout her work. In addition to continually improving the MBRS collection ofbooks and periodicals, she is creating such a collection for the NationalAudioVisual Conservation Center.”

The Dan and Kathy Leab Award was established to acknowledge the contribution of archivists who seldomhave the opportunity of being recognized outside their institutions. Award recipients have worked in a movingimage archive or with a moving image collection, and have made a significant contribution to their institutionor the field as a whole. Contributions are either in the form of a notable achievement or special project, orthrough the noteworthy performance of daily tasks carried out over a long period of time. The award is givenwithout regard to AMIA membership.
