Only with public interest will there be public support for rescuing documentaries, educational films, historical footage and other noncommercial works whose survival is now threatened.
To reach a broad audience, preservationists need a variety of educational tools: a basic informational brochure explaining film preservation to the nonspecialist, short public service announcements for broadcast and cable transmission, and mini-documentaries, such as those produced by the American Film Institute, American Movie Classics, and Sony Pictures Entertainment. These outreach materials can vividly relate preservation to a range of films-from home movies to Hollywood features~and suggest sources for more information.
Brochures, public service announcements and mini-documentaries gain in power when orchestrated in a coordinated plan. The Board urges creation of these materials or, in cases where good models exist, adaptation and reuse for national purposes. The Board will strive to integrate these outreach tools into an on-going public education campaign, beginning with the tour noted below.
Recommendation 4.14; Use the National Film Registi-y Tour, now in the planning stage, National Film Registry as the backbone of a national public awareness campaign on film Tour preservation. In 1995, the Library of Congress will launch a
national tour to celebrate American filmmaking by showcasing a selection from the National Film Registry. The tour will enable audiences to experience historically, culturally and aesthetically significant American films as they were intended to be seen: as goodquality prints in public theaters. The tour, planned in cooperation with copyright owners and archives, will present the preservation work of many organizations.
The National Film Preservation Board will use the tour as the centerpiece in an outreach campaign to alert the public to the diversity of American film production and to draw attention to the national preservation plan. The Board will explore creating supporting brochures, public service announcements, and minidocumentaries that can continue to be used to promote preservation after the tour ends.
