CLAIM Meeting celebrated in Praha Iván Trujillo Bolio In spite of the distance, at the 54 FIAF’s Congress, held in Praha, the attendance of Latin American Film Archives was numerous, so we could have a brief meeting of the Coordinadora Latinoamericana de Archivos de Imàgnes en Moviemiento (CLAIM) in which were present the representatives of the following film archives: Argentina, Brasil, Colombia (Barranquilla), Cuba, Chile, Mèxico (Cineteca Nacional y Filmoteca UNAM), Puerto Rico, y Uruguay (Cinemateca Uruguaya). Taking advantage of this meeting it was delivered to each archive a copy of the FIAF’s Catalogation Rules, in Spanish, which has been recently issued, and we have the compromise to send more copies to each archive as well as to the members that could’nt attend. Regarding the funds of the Instituto de Cooperaciòn Iberoamericana (ICI) it was decided to use them to take care of the following projects: to acquire the splicer for the Cinemateca Cubana and the PTR rolls for the archives which still don’t get them, for example the National Archive of Puerto Rico; to support the applications of the Latin American representatives to attend to the FIAF Summer School; to give the resources to finish the restoration of the film “Très tristes tigres” that it is doing in Chile and Uruguay; to make the transfer of nitrate images into acetate of Costa Rica, Guatemala, Perù and Sao Paulo Archives. It was taken into consideration the importance of that in the next Congress, to be held in Madrid, participate the greatest number of Latin American film archives. As regards to, Chema Prado expressed that he is making negotiations to obtain the support to cover the travel and loadging expenses up to ten representatives of Latin America. At last, it was requested to him that we would like to count, within the Congress, with two sessions to screen the films, that has been restored with the ICI’s funds. Association des Cinémathèques Européennes - ACE José Manuel Costa Including now 31 formal members, ACE has been continuously growing and widening its scope of activity. Dating back to the middle eighties, the European associative movement has reached high momentum between 1991 and 1995, with the LUMIÈRE Project - an initiative of the European Union FIAF archives benefitting from the support of the MEDIA Programme, which came to an end because of the new rules of 66 Journal of Film Preservation / 56 / 1998
this Programme. Facing the new context, the movement had then a decisive turning point in September 1996, in S. Sebastian, where we have decided to open up the Association already existant under the name of ACCE (Association des Cinémathèques de la Communauté Européenne) to the whole of Europe, thus creating ACE. And, by that time, we decided to start a “trial period” of eighteen months, with a new formal structure (including the payment of a regular fee for secretarial expenses), aiming to clarify the real potential and practical possibilities of this movement, now dispossessed of any guarantee of continuous external support. The “trial period” having now reached its end, ACE has just made its final balance in the recent General Assembly in Prague, by the occasion of the 1998 FIAF Congress. This was in fact the most participated G.A ever made (where all formal members were present, plus many other observers) and, in face of the results obtained, the members expressed an unanimous wish to go on with the association. Besides the internal discussion on its structure and scope, ACE has concentrated on two main levels of activity: the launching of collective projects in various professional archive fields; the external representation of the film archives and the dialogue with other european institutions. And in both of them, during the last two years we could register tangible progress. First of all, ACE resumed activity concerning two previous LUMIÈRE initiatives, which either remained unfinished or claimed for natural further development. These were the JEF project (Joint European Filmography) and the SEARCH FOR LOST FILMS. So far, the european filmography had in fact encountered some technical problems regarding the merge of the various software used by some archives and institutions, along with clear delay in the development of some national filmographies. However, by the time this bulletin is published, a first experimental CD-Rom with the data received so far is expected to have been sent to all members. As for the SEARCH, under the coordination of Gianluca Farinelli and Vittorio Martinelli, we have managed to approve some further support by the European Commission, through the RAPHAEL Programme, which enabled new identification operations. And, following these actions and support, ACE approved to internally finance new actions to be carried out during the course of 1998. Updated lists of lost films and of recently identified material have already circulated and are available to all FIAF members in Bologna through Coordinator Gianluca Farinelli. As for collective projects launched since the end of LUMIÈRE, we have diversified the areas of activity, including now the decisive area of training and some technical research projects coordinated by the european GAMMA group, based in Bologna. Training has in fact become a new major concern for ACE. With the support of MEDIA II, we have launched ARCHIMEDIA, a joint initiative of European Union film archives and some of the major European univer- 67 Journal of Film Preservation / 56 / 1998
