World Day for Audiovisual Heritage
27th of October
2007
The UNESCO Recommendation for Safeguarding and Preservation of Moving
Image has been adopted the 27 October 1980 in Belgrade. To celebrate
this occasion, the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage is held annually
and draws attention to the importance of film as cultural heritage.
It gives film archives the opportunity to present the different aspects
of their work to a broader public.
On the initiative of the FIAF Executive Committee, the FIAF affiliates are encouraged
to
1) establish a list of restored (or preserved) films in the last 3
years (maximum 5 titles)
2) introduce 1 lost film on TV or the internet
3) establish a list of films in danger (3 titles)
4) prepare a special programme for this day (exhibition, special screening,
conference, symposium, open day etc.)
