On behalf of the Conference Committee, we would like to extend a bigTexas-style welcome to Austin for our fifteenth annual conference. We arethrilled to gather in a city with such a strong film and archival community.

As in past years, the program was developed from the many fantasticmember submissions, but this year peer reviews were also integrated intothe adjudication process - providing a sharper focus on membershipinterests and committee/interest group projects. Technology, whichtouches almost every area of our profession, was an underlying themethroughout this year’s submissions. It has resulted in a program that coversa range of archival concerns from nitrate film in the beginning of movingimage history to the contemporary and future issues of Digital AssetManagement.

What’s new this year? An extended Reel Thing, our first workshop from theMoving Image Related Materials & Documentation Interest Group, andour first in what we hope to be a series of regional workshops, “Becoming AFilm Friendly Archivist.” In addition, as part of AMIA’s mission of preserva-tion, conservation, and outreach to the community, we have programmeda Screening Day at the Paramount Theater and, with the help of our localcommittee, made it free to the public.

The Conference takes a lot of people working together - the Committee iscomposed of many volunteer members who have given much time andeffort to make AMIA 2005 a reality. And that includes the work our LocalCommittee has done in bringing us the best of Austin, and helping us tobring the best of AMIA to the city. So to all of them, thank you! Enjoy theConference, the city, and the camaraderie of your colleagues!

Congress Avenue, 1940s: The additions of the Littlefield Building in 1910 and the Norwood Tower in1929 brought a modern yet elegant touch to Congress Avenue, and by the end of the 1940s “TheAvenue” had truly developed a sophisticated look. Modern buses were common at this point, havingreplaced the electric streetcars in 1940. Credit: [C00615lg] Austin History Center, Austin Public Library

8:30 am - 12:30 pm Salon FFilm Collection Management Workshop: From Condition Evaluationand Environmental Assessment to Preservation

Chair: Jim Reilly - Image Permanence InstituteSpeaker: Jean-Louis Bigourdan - Image Permanence Institute

IPI has focused on developing tools to facilitate film preservation decisions.The main purpose of this half-day workshop is to show how these tools comple-ment each other when used together to determine appropriate storage strategiesfor a wide variety of situations. IPI research has indicated that it is possible todetermine what environment a film collection needs only if the general conditionof that collection is known. Likewise, it is possible to determine if the currentcollection environment is suitable only if that environment can be characterized.This workshop will provide basic information on film stability and on the effectof climate conditions on film collections. Most importantly, this workshop willintroduce attendees to a step-by-step “collection management kit.” During thisworkshop, the tools mentioned above will be presented and put into practice, andattendees will be able to apply this approach in their own institutions.

Pre-registration is required with a separate registration fee.

MIC has broken new ground by creating a mapping utility enabling any movingimage archive, regardless of metadata schema used, to share records globallythrough the MIC Union Catalog. The organization simply submits an applica-tion, sample records and field list. MIC then populates an online form with thisdata so that the organization can name MIC data element equivalents for itsown fields. Program content: brief overview of MIC and its Union Catalog;

The past decade has witnessed an unprecedented consolidation of media assetsin the hands of a few commercial and government entities. FCC deregulation,corporate media mergers, and ties between government and media all resulted ina small number of corporations controlling an ever increasing sector of the USnews and information media. This panel will investigate media collections cre-ated and used by independent news outlets. Media supported by its users andnot by its sponsors can provide perspectives that enhance the historical recordby representing issues and communities that are not given voice through corpo-rate media.

Overlord, introduced by director Stuart Cooper. In 1975, this remarkable warfilm (‘Overlord’ was the code-name for the Allied invasion of Europe in 1944)enjoyed high critical praise, won a Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival, andthen drifted quietly into obscurity. In the USA, it never even got off theground. Perhaps the film was just too modest, too understated to achieve anindelible impact. Suddenly, though - 30 years later - following a revival at theTelluride Film Festival in Colorado, Overlord has taken the American art-housecircuit by storm. Americans seem to see it as a welcome antidote to the gung-ho pyrotechnics of their own depictions of WWII, such as Saving PrivateRyan. Certainly, the film warrants re-appraisal for its timeless, very Britishqualities of monochrome realism and self-effacement. Its American director,Stuart Cooper, spent three years studying WWII documentary and newsreelfootage at London’s Imperial War Museum (subsequently co-producers of thefilm). With Kubrick’s favourite cinematographer, John Alcott, he fashioned anarrative of an ordinary British soldier preparing for D-Day: his basic training,his boredom, his fears and his fatalism. The film’s triumph is in its seamlessinterweaving of dramatic footage and the real thing, to the point where evenAlcott couldn’t tell which was which. (Clyde Jeavons for the London Film Festival)

Speakers: Bradley Reeves - ConsultantJudy L. Johnson - Childress Theatre Company (TX)Stephanie Langenkamp - San Marcos Public Library (TX)

Throughout the first half of the twentieth century, itinerant filmmakers traversedNorth America, Europe, and Australia documenting towns and creating local“stars.” Their films now serve as important visual catalogs of communities atspecific moments in time, functioning, in a sense, as communal home movies.Through the work of Melton Barker, a Texas filmmaker who traveled across thecountry making local versions of “Our Gang” short subjects, this panel willinvestigate how these archival artifacts recently have been rediscovered, pre-served, and exploited. Open to all levels of participation, from media archivistsand historians to those less familiar with film preservation and practice, this paneloffers a range of perspectives on how ephemeral films can be effectivelyutilized by a broad range of organizations.

Moving image and sound archives make cultural decisions on whether toaccept materials into their collections and practical decisions on theterms and conditions on which materials will be accepted. Written poli-cies and guidelines ensure that acquisitions are focused, and materialthat does not fit the institution’s needs are referred elsewhere. Potentialdonors naturally prefer agreements where they retain all rights and can with-draw materials at will; most institutions are reluctant to accept materials if theirprimary role is providing complementary storage. This session will examine thevalue of documented policies, discuss their creation and provide examples oftheir application. It will also review standard deposit and donor agreements atinstitutions, including when it is appropriate to make exceptions. This panel will bevaluable to all archive staff and rights-holders whose material is held by publicinstitutions. Examples of existing policies and donor agreements will be distrib-uted.

Dennis Doros - Milestone FilmsBrad Miller - Film-Tech Ltd.

Cinema (theatrical) projection using computer based imaging technologiesinstead of film has made little commercial impact thus far. Speculation isintensifying as to if and when Moore’s Law will overtake the development offilm-based imaging, thereby signaling the start of the 35mm release print’sdecline into obsolescence. When the phasing out of film in mainstreamtheatres finally happens (even if way in the future), equipment provision,service infrastructure, the technical skills base and even the manufacture ofrelease print film stock itself will cease. Archives which currently showcasetheir preservation and restoration activities through the medium of 35mmprints and the venues which show them will need to have a strategy in place.This session aims to offer a meaningful forum for members concerned withthe projection of archival film prints in screening venues to consider the issue,and how archivists and theatre operators might be able to prepare for the endof film projection as a mainstream technology.

Super 8 celebrates its 40th birthday in 2005, presenting us with a perfectopportunity to reflect on the past and present of this small format, as well aspossible futures. With Super 8’s traditional applications—as a small gaugereversal stock used in home movies, amateur travelogues, artist films, andlimited industrial use—apparently on the decline, new S8 negative stocks arefinding applications in the commercial market. Archivally speaking, S8 pre-sents many quandaries, especially in terms of preservation via reformattingto larger gauges, to video and into the digital realm. This panel will discuss S8in both a historical and present day context. Topics will include: the parallelhistories of marketing and manufacture; the future of S8 reversal stock; thecost effectiveness and inherent problems of preservation on video/digitalversus film; and issues of equipment obsolescence.

Conventionally, digital asset management can be conceptualized as a silo, thecreation of a single repository encapsulating unstructured content. This is incontrast to a true digital library, which ideally expresses all of the semantics ofa digital object’s lifecycle, not only by describing its content, but documentinghow the object behaves, its function and use, its relationship to other informationobjects, and how the object should be managed. This session will cover whatconstitutes a digital library vs. stand-alone databases, provide a brief history ofthe development of the Metadata Encoding Transmission Standard (METS) withinthe digital library community, outline METS’ ability to integrate disparate formsof metadata within a single document, and provide an example of how METSmight be applied to video materials.

This session will provide an overview of the coming era Hi Definition television.Emblazoned on the cover of this session are the words—Don’t Panic. We willpull in some of the pioneers of the Hi Def revolution to show both repositorieswith film or video holdings how to prepare for the future. This session will bedivided into three basic areas. Hi Def for video will be delivered by Ken Brady,the guru of Hi Def at Turner Sports. He will present a basic primer, taught withinTurner, which will give all attendees a basic understanding of what Hi Def is, howit can be created via a video camera and how it ends up on your TV screen.

The second section will deal with legacy film collections. Archives all hold filmcollection which might need to be aired in Hi Def. The two basic methods nowinclude computer enhancing the video signals or going back to the original film.Each has a cost v quality issue that will impact how archives do film transfer inthe future. The third section will be how we archive this material. Hi Def willintroduce new tape formats and video players and might force all archives todive into the digital asset arena to store the material. Nathie Malayang of CNNwill discuss some of the various beginning efforts they are taking to store thematerial long term.

2. Preserving Digital Public Television

Chair: Mary Ide – WGBH-TV Media ArchivesSpeaker: Nan Rubin - Thirteen/NDIIPP

In a relatively rapid period of time, digital technology has radically trans-formed the nature of television program production — from a linear, sequen-tial analog process, to a non-linear, random access, totally digital environ-ment. Consequently, long standing production and preservation practicesno longer apply and digitally-produced materials are at great risk of being lost.The Library of Congress, recognizing this problem, funded Preserving DigitalPublic Television in the fall of 2004 to plan anational repository for the long-term preservation of digitally-produced public television programs. Thisproject is the only one of the eight initial NDIIPP grantees that is exclusivelydevoted to the challenge of preserving moving images.

Access to and scholarship about vintage video art, live performance andtechnology-based installation art depends upon innovative documentation andpreservation. Confounding those concerned with ensuring the longevity ofmedia-based artwork are problems of video format diversity and the inimitabilityof technological instruments favored by many artists. Although seeminglycontradictory, these problems often lead to the same end for the performancerecording and video art places: inaccessibility. We will address challengesencountered in and strategies for preserving and documenting live perfor-mance recordings and video art. Artist Stephen Vitiello will provide insight intothe creative and curatorial process. Sarah Ziebell Mann will discuss formatobsolescence as it relates to a collection of archival moving image and soundmaterials documenting the work of internationally renowned intermedia pioneerRobert M. Wilson. Preservation strategies will be addressed by BAVC’sHeather Weaver. Mona Jimenez will discuss her research in documenting anddescribing instruments, electronic and digital machines, and other technologi-cal objects developed by or for artists. Jeff Martin will relate the results ofIMAP Video Equipment Registry Feasibility Study. We invite audience mem-bers who are interested in or working to preserve interactive media art andtechnologically-oriented performance art to attend.

Traditionally, the moving image archiving field has depended on self-teachingand apprenticeship in its development. The recent growth of academic pro-grams does not negate this way of learning, but instead can incorporate andhighlight its values as a means to apply theory to practice. Current andrecently matriculated students from five major preservation schools will dis-cuss how their own field work in class projects and internships, as well as theirdirect experience in the field, has contributed to and challenged their formaleducation. Students presenting are from the Selznick Graduate Program inFilm and Media Preservation - GEH/UofR, New York University, the Univer-sity of Amsterdam, the University of California, Los Angeles, and the Univer-sity of East Anglia.

The Dan and Kathy Leab Award

Todd Van Dusen has worked his way up within Library and Archives Canada,beginning in the 1970s when he worked in the shipping and receiving department.He then became the resident operator of the archive’s new telecine equipment inthe 1980s, and for over 20 years worked transferring archival footage for in-house preservation and reference projects as well as outside documentary projects.Despite his breadth of work (having transferred countless hours of materials forthe archive and even playing a lead role in the planning, design, and acquisitionof a new digital scanning suite), Todd remains unsung to the larger archivalcommunity and even to his own institution. He is heavily relied on, but rarelyrecognized, finding it sometimes even difficult to get funding to attend the annualAMIA conference.

In November of last year, Todd was one of only a few staff members who wereselected to be part of a high-security tour of the Gatineau Preservation Centrefor US President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush. This wasn’t atypical tour, but it was entirely typical that Todd was selected. A recent evaluationdescribed Todd in these words - "Virtually all of the work performed by Mr.VanDusen is scrutinized by clients of the LAC. Mr. Van Dusen transcends all of theaspects of competencies in personal integrity, reliability, judgement, leadershipand effective interpersonal skills that are required in his unique position.”

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 amoving image archive or with a moving image collection, and have made a significant contribution to theirinstitution or the field as a whole. Contributions are either in the form of a notable achievement or specialproject, or through the noteworthy performance of daily tasks carried out over a long period of time. Theaward is given without regard to AMIA membership.

The Maryann Gomes AwardJohn R. Waggener has worked as an archivist for the American Heritage Center(AHC) for more than three years. The institution was unable to hire an audio-visual archivist, and John (whose specialization is geography and maps) washanded the task. John joined AMIA. Having no background in moving imagearchives, his attendance at the conference will help him in determining idealstorage conditions, best practices for digitization projects, ideas for access, andmethods for transferring archival footage. The AHC archives consist of 25,000sound recordings, 15,000 films, and 3,000 videotapes, including regional footageof local politician Nellie Tayloe Ross, America’s first woman governor and formerdirector of US Mint; early park and natural resource footage; and University ofWyoming Cowboy and Cowgirl sports films from the late 1930s.

This award honors the memory of Maryann Gomes, first Director of the North West Film Archives inManchester, England. Maryann was a great believer in the power moving images have to documentregional identity and issues, and was a strong force within AMIA.

2005 Scholarships & Fellowship

AMIA believes that the education and training of moving image archivists is notonly central to AMIA’s role as a professional association, but essential to the long-term survival of our moving image heritage. Thanks to the generosity of ourprogram sponsors, AMIA awarded five scholarships and one fellowship in 2005.
