Both super great! Thanks for digitizing and sharing. Second one by Chuck Olin with camera and sound work by @kartemquinfilms.bsky.social folks like Gordon Quinn and Judy Hoffmann, among others.

Ask me about the professors/PhDs who've never worked in archives getting put in leadership positions and immediately going towards "Well I would like it if everything is online" but who secretly love The Backlog because then they can pretend to Discover in the Dusty Box from The Archive

That perfectly describes his time as Missouri AG. Though the latter causes the former in a never ending feedback loop.

It must be disheartening to create an AI Frankenstein in your image and then not like what it does because it makes you release what a loser you are.

Submissions will be due 15 February 2027 and can be sent to nontheatricalessayaward@gmail.com. The award winner will be contacted in March 2027, and announced at the 2027 SCMS Annual Conference.The Moving Image is the journal of the Association of Moving Image Archivists (AMIA). It explores topics relevant to both the media archivist and the media scholar. The Moving Image deals with crucial issues
surrounding the preservation, archiving, and restoration of film, video, and digital moving images. It features detailed profiles of moving image collections; interpretive and historical essays about archival materials; articles on archival description, appraisal, and access; behind-the-scenes looks at the techniques used to preserve, restore, and digitize moving images; and theoretical articles on the future of the field.

The Nontheatrical Film & Media scholarly interest group of the Society of Cinema and Media Studies (SCMS) provides a setting for scholars working in this area to collaborate, share research tips, and debate methodological issues. Moreover, this SIG acts as another connection between the academic and archival worlds, and between other SIGs and committees within SCMS, such as the Media Archives Committee. The mission of the Nontheatrical Film & Media Scholarly Interest Group is to facilitate discussion, consolidation, outreach, and inclusion.

Yes, large newspaper database. I did want to search for "botox global" instead of the storied newspaper, "Boston Globe."

Becuase it becomes more focused on the actors than the space around them? Or something else? Looking forward to hearing your conclusions.

Excellent point! Also, like in the '80s, New York was seen as a place of danger and decline so the concept made sense. What is the threat of New York now? High rent? Mamdani?
