FIAF Congress22 - 30 May 2009

Dear Friends and Colleagues:
It is our great pleasure to invite you to Buenos Aires in May 2009 to participate in the 65th Congress of the International Federation of Film Archives.

The FIAF Congress, which will be held in Buenos Aires for the first time, will take place from the 24th to the 30th of May, and will be the occasion to celebrate two major events next year, the centenary of Argentine Cinema and the 60th anniversary of the Argentine Cinematheque.

This will give all of us the opportunity to debate the challenges faced by our institutions in the 21st century, as well as discussing the role of Cinematheques in reaching their audiences.

Buenos Aires is one of the great cultural capitals of the world, famous for its passionate movie lovers since the birth of cinema.

In the same way that new aesthetic trends and new directors have been discovered here, we hope that the reflections and experiences of archives gathered from all over the world will indicate and illuminate the road to follow for the institutions of our region.
We want this experience to be an uplifting one for all involved; we want you to discover our city, our culture, and our fellow citizens.

Sincerely

Marcela Cassinelli
Vice-President
Fundación Cinemateca Argentina

Buenos Aires, February 2009
