For the price of one movie ticket ($10) in your hometown you can help ACP buy a scanner for the AIM Workshops and provide training for workshop participants. Please share this link and DONATE NOW to help us achieve our goal by December 15, 2016. With your help we can bring more materials out of Balkan film and television archives and onto screens near you.
Building on our successful foundation and proven track record in Albania, ACP is launching regional training workshops in the Western Balkans for archives professionals. These archivists are working against the odds to preserve an endangered cinematic heritage that has been far too little seen beyond the region’s borders. ACP will organize and host  a 2-week intensive preservation institute at the Albanian National Film Archives (AQSHF)  and the Marubi Academy of Film and Multimedia in Tirana, Albania from October 17-28, 2016. This will be the first in a series of ongoing workshops in the region. AIM will be organized under the auspices of ACP and their partners in Albania and the Western Balkan Region. AIM is a capacity building project to promote and carry out film and video preservation and digitization and to facilitate access to the archival and contemporary cinema of the Western Balkans in situ.

The AIM Workshops will feature intermediate and advanced courses with a focus on practical training in current audiovisual preservation and restoration techniques and archival practices conducted by leading archivists and restorers from preeminent international institutions: the Magyar Filmlabor (Hungarian Film Lab), A/V Geeks (North Carolina, USA), AV Preservation (Switzerland), The George Eastman Museum (GEM, Rochester, NY, USA), NYU MIAP (NY, USA), The Imperial War Museum (IWM, London,UK), the San Francisco Media Archive, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM, Washington, DC), Indiana University Libraries (Bloomington, IN, USA), and the Wende Museum (Los Angeles, CA).

AIM is designed to bring equipment and professional expertise in film and video preservation and digitization to countries with a rich audiovisual heritage, but where, due to decades of infrastructural challenges, access to the tools for ongoing preservation and restoration have been limited. We are committed to fostering collaboration and increasing preservation initiatives by bringing the latest technologies to the region, along with the necessary training for the archives and archivists, so they can begin to provide digital access to their own materials. Help us achieve these goals by contributing to our crowdfunding campaign for a scanner today!
