Museum studies students can be interested in internships in film
preservation. Anyone know of organizations/archives/for profit companies
that regularly take on interns in this area?
* New York Women in Film and Television (NYWIFT) has partnered with the
Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in NYC on a project called the film preservation
fund. Each year a film is selected and a team assembled to restore the film,
which upon completion is given an industry screening.
NYWIFT's Executive Director is Terry Lawler. ([log in to unmask]) I've known
her since 2006, when I served as a special events intern for the
organization.
* Try the George Eastman House in Rochester NY. Also check out the Film
Foundation as a resource, their preserved films list may be a good place to
look for ideas.
* You might want to the contact the Wolfson Moving Image Archives (
http://www.mdc.edu/wolfsonarchives/) based out of the Miami Dade Public
Library – Main Branch. I understand they are always looking for interns in
this area.
* Perhaps the Association of Moving Image Archivists can help with a
placement. They work with a broad-based group of professionals and
collecting organizations - www.amianet.org From the website:
AMIA is a non-profit professional association established to advance the
field of moving image archiving by fostering cooperation among individuals
and organizations concerned with the acquisition, description, preservation,
exhibition and use of moving image materials.
AMIA's members range from those who work solely with moving images to
organizations where moving images are only a small part of their collection
to individuals who want to protect their personal collection - home movies
or small gauge or video - to film buffs concerned with losing our visual
heritage
