April 2004 Community Crusade--San Francisco Media ArchiveThis April, KUSF's Community Crusade supports the San Francisco Media Archive. The San Francisco Media Archive is a non profit film organization dedicated to the acquisition and preservation of culturally significant films and related media. Their archive is comprised of thousands of films, videotapes and digital media in all genres, and includes important historical, educational, industrial and propaganda films, as well as television commercials, movie trailers, documentaries, and much more.
The San Francisco Media Archive offers many community programs. Their internship programs mentor and instruct students in all aspects of film archiving and preservation, video editing, digital media and more. Their Project 20 Community Service Program allows people to work off their parking tickets while learning and assisting with important preservation projects. They also host monthly film screenings at the archive and present rare avant garde, experimental, ethnographic and music related films unavailable anywhere else. They even offer free film to video transfers of your family home movies.
For more information about their programs or upcoming events, call the San Francisco Media Archive at (415) 558-8117, or visit their website.
