Texas Film Round-Up: Fort Worth Edition

Madeline Moya, Managing Director of the Texas Archive of the Moving Image (TAMI), will share what archive is doing to collect Texas history and culture recorded on film and how you can digitize, preserve and protect your original films for generations to come. She will also talk one-on-one about your films, explain TAMI’s free digitization program and screen additional historic footage.
