Join a group that has gathered annually since 2000 to discuss research accomplishments for the year and to participate in an area that always welcomes newcomers with fresh ideas on exhibition history and the future of film exhibition today, as well as the efforts of theatre preservationists who save history for all us. The focus, then, is the history and future of film exhibition as well as the good work of those who save movie theatres for all of us to enjoy.
