2004 Joint Technical Symposium:
Preserving the AudioVisual Heritage - Transition and Access
On behalf of the Coordinating Council of Audiovisual Archive Associations,
the Association of Moving Image Archivists is pleased to announce that the
2004 Joint Technical Symposium will take place June 24-26, 2004 in Toronto,
Canada, at the Isabel Bader Theater. Preserving the AudioVisual Heritage -
Transition and Access is the theme of this 3-day event, which is expected to
draw 300-400 attendees from around the world.
The Joint Technical Symposium (JTS), which was first held in 1983, is the
international gathering of organizations and individuals involved in the
preservation of original image and sound materials. Held every three years,
JTS provides an opportunity for colleagues around the world and those
interested in the field to meet and share information about original image
and sound preservation. Panel discussions, technical presentations and
sessions, and special screenings will focus on preservation and restoration
of the world's moving image and recorded sound heritage. Attendees
traditionally include film/video/audio archivists, laboratory technicians
and engineers, and film/video/audio preservation specialists drawn from a
broad cross-section of institutions responsible for feature films,
television (national, regional and local), independent productions, news
film and amateur productions. For newcomers to this vibrant, dynamic and
committed community, JTS 2004 will provide an invaluable opportunity to
learn what is happening in the field.
Under the auspices of UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and
Cultural Organization) Information Society Division, participating
organizations include: the Association of Moving Image Archivists (AMIA),
the International Federation of Film Archives (FIAF), the International
Federation of Television Archives/Fédération Internationale des Archives de
