164 Sixty Years of 16mm Film for, not as an enthusiast but as a specialist. After several years she is now able to- show a film service that is operating a full program, not doing everything at once, not even doing everything there is to do, but going along at the best pace it can maintain, well aware of the fact that problems along the way will prevent its achieving 100 per- cent perfection. The ANA-NLN Film Service director acknowledges that the little complaints quoted earlier in this chapter are still with us: we need more projectors, better discussion leaders, more easily accessible films, serious evaluations, experienced projectionists, better screening facilities, and more mature films. But she knows also that we cannot have any of those improvements without working toward them with solid leadership, sensible planning, and vigorous activity. She is prepared to give the members of her organization the help they need in selecting films, in learning how to improve their film showings, and in acquiring the skills of leading film discussion. She also finds her- self in a position to spend some of her time and cooperative effort with film specialists in related fields — in such organizations as the Ameri- can Medical Association and the Medical Audio-Visual Institute. Any number of other national associations might have been selected as an example of what has happened in their film programs during the past few years. The Girl Scouts, for example, has made remarkable progress in its own professional production of audio- visual materials. The Workers Education Bureau (of the AF of L) has worked out a first-rate monthly evaluation of films to be used in labor programs. The National Audubon Society has coordinated a highly professional set of still and motion picture services available to members, schools, and others. The American Library Association, despite its relative inactivity in the past several years, has still man- aged to keep increasing within its ranks the most thoroughly inter- ested, active, and competent body of noncommercial film specialists in the country. FCA's Guide to the Film Services of National Associations will be the first major attempt in this country to compile and publish in- formation of this kind for general use. Its usefulness extends in many directions. First, with copies of the guide on hand in film information centers and audio-visual departments, film users should find it easier to locate the specific film service they need and the organization that offers it. The associations themselves will doubtless benefit, not only from the publicity their film services will receive but also from the
