Mission
The Small Gauge and Amateur Film interest group was created in 2001 to
continue the work begun by AMIA's Small Gauge Task Force and Inédits
interest group. Our mission is to promote and protect the interests of
small gauge and amateur film, its creators, and its advocates. "Small
gauge" film includes all media smaller than 35mm-the emphasis is
on 16mm, 8mm, and Super 8mm, but less common formats like 28mm and 9.5mm
are also considered under the small gauge umbrella. "Amateur"
film includes most non-commercial productions-especially home movies,
avant-garde cinema, and undistributed materials. Any of these materials
may be privately held or in the care of an archive, stock house, or other
collecting institution.
The interest group seeks to:
- Activate the exchange of information among individuals
involved with small gauge and amateur film at all levels
- Continue to develop and publicize standards for the
care and preservation of small gauge and amateur film materials
- Encourage consideration and appreciation of small
gauge and amateur film works, especially in the context of film and
social history and the culture of the moving image
- Support research, writing, and public activities
related to small gauge and amateur film and the many issues associated
with it
