Summer Film Symposium,
Toward Access, Interpretation, and Understanding

The Summer Film Symposium at Northeast Historic Film in Bucksport,
Maine, will be held Friday, August 8 and Saturday, August 9, 2003.

This is the fourth year of an enlightening, fun and affordable
gathering. The emphasis is on relaxed conversation among peers;
presentations feature moving images projected in the Alamo Theatre and
there are convivial meals and evening screenings. Everyone is invited to
attend.

Presenters include Snowden Becker, J. Paul Getty Museum (home movies as
diagnostic tools for psychiatric disorders); Karen Gracy, University of
Pittsburgh, (teaching about moving images in Library and Information
Science); Jeff Heinle, Colby-Sawyer College (teaching media preservation
to liberal arts students); Dwight Swanson from Northeast Historic Film
(Forbes family 28mm film preservation); Daniel Wagner from George
Eastman House (Raoul Walsh?s 1913 film, The Mystery of the Hindu Image,
28mm preservation); Janna Jones, University of South Florida
(contemporaneous versus retrospective documentary form); Alan Kattelle,
author of Home Movies: A History of the American Industry (unusual
amateur gauges, an illustrated tour); William O'Farrell, National
Archives of Canada (1914-1919 filmmaking, home front mobilization and
immediate post-war period). Mark Neumann, University of South Florida,
will moderate.  Eric Schaefer will evaluate.

A new feature of the Symposium this year is "Along the Way," an
invitation for everyone attending to look for and acquire film from the
time they leave home to their arrival at the archives in Maine: check
out flea markets, antiquarian bookstores, junk collections. Awards will
be presented.
