PARS Preservation Film Festival

PARS announces "Two Thumbs Up! Preservation Film Festival" on Sunday,
6/28/98, 7:30-9:30 p.m. at the Washington DC Doubletree Hotel, Terrace
Ball Room.

Spend an evening at the movies and see the stars of preservation
stage and screen! Following a critically acclaimed first film
festival at the 1995 Annual Conference in Chicago 1995, the
Preservation and Reformatting Section of ALCTS is showing four
films--three in their entirety--to help raise awareness of
preservation issues. The films have been selected to appeal to a
general audience.

Films are:

    "Slow Fires: On the Preservation of the Written Record," 33 min.
    "Into the Future: On the Preservation of Knowledge in the
        Digital Age," 30 min.
    "Handling Books in General Collections", 10 min.
    "Academic Aftershocks," a partial showing of a film about the
        very destructive earthquake that hit the Northridge CA
        campus

 There will be drawings for prizes throughout the evening, but you must be
present to win.  Among prizes are copies of "Into the Future"
(compliments of CLIR) and "Handling Books in General Collections" (thanks
to UC-San Diego).  Popcorn provided.  Bring a soda from the hotel vending
machines, dress down, and plan on having fun
