SOCIETY OF MOTION PICTURE AND TELEVISION ENGINEERS The Society is a membership organization of motion picture and television engi- neers, technicians, architects and exhibitors, founded in 1916 as the Society of Motion Picture Engineers. Members who serve on technical committees combine their efforts toward im- provement, along technical lines, of film production and exhibition, television, and film and equipment manufacture, by providing timely recommendations and guides to future progress.
