    AMIA – Association of Moving Image Archivists · Oct 2021 - Present

    In recognition that advocacy is integral to AMIA’s mission, in 2018 the membership committee on advocacy was transitioned to the Advocacy Committee of the Board. AMIA recognizes that advocacy is essential in supporting the preservation of our media heritage and in championing a multiplicity of voices in the historical record. The Advocacy Committee aligns with AMIA’s mission in supporting public and professional education in relation to the preservation and use of moving image media, and furthering professional communication and collaboration. Working with members, committees, and the board, AMIA’s Advocacy Committee develops strategic recommendations and actions to further the interests of the field and represent those interests to the wider community, resource allocators, policy makers, and to the public. The Committee works to identify and promote opportunities to shape public perception and raise awareness of archives and archival professionals, explores ways that AMIA can be responsive to and advocate for the resources needed by archives and archival professionals; and suggests strategic collaborations and partnerships as methods of amplifying advocacy efforts.

Audiovisual archives managers are facing new challenges at present, such as carrying out digital migration from analogical formats, set out and manage new offers for audiovisual documents, both commercial and cultural, run vast amounts of data and metadata. INAsup Audiovisual Heritage Management course intends to give an answer to these main challenges. Graduates acquire a set of hybrid skills that span organizational and management skills, technological literacy and intellectual propriety management and protection, therefore contributing to shape a new generation of audiovisual archivists. 15 students are selected each year. Applicants must have at least a Bachelor’s degree level or diploma and be no more than 27 years old in the year they register.

INAsup provides a two-year course organized in three semesters of coursework and a semester working as an intern within a company. The program combines hands-on training and theoretical studies. The teaching involves professional actors together with university professors. The programme is based on: ‐ A multidisciplinary education foundation intended to provide an audiovisual, digital and managerial culture (law, economics, audiovisual techniques, history and management) ; ‐ Fundamental and professional education linked to conservation, preservation, valorization, and assessment of sounds and images collections. The teaching is completed by conferences, master classes, visits, study trips and presence during professional events such as film festivals.

The school calls on experienced teachers-researchers for the teaching units who associate the assimilation of a professional practice and scientific research methods (media studies, media and digital economics).
