"Out of the Archive: Recent Work from MIAS"

Noon - 2 p.m.

The UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television's "Festival of New Creative Work" is an annual showcase of student achievement. This year, the Festival will present "Out of the Archive: Recent Work from MIAS" (noon - 2 p.m.) highlighting creative and preservation work by students and recent graduates of the Moving Image Archive Studies (MIAS) degree program. Students will present independent work and excerpts from their portfolios, representing their professional interests and achievements in MIAS. In addition, recent MIAS alumni now working as professional archivists will present elements of their preservation work on UCLA Film & Television Archive's Hearst Metrotone News Collection, one of the largest newsreel collections in the world.

A light reception will follow.

The MIAS degree program at UCLA is offered jointly by the Cinema and Media Studies faculty in the School of Theater, Film and Television and the Department of Information Studies in the Graduate School of Education and Information Studies, in cooperation with the UCLA Film & Television Archive. This highly selective program was the first graduate degree established in the U.S. to educate professionals and academic scholars in this rapidly expanding field. MIAS students deal with the challenges of ever-changing technology, the complex legal and policy environment, and the evolving cultural contexts and expectations surrounding moving image archiving. Students also have the opportunity for practicum experiences at over 30 industry sites and cultural institutions in the U.S. and worldwide.
