Advocating awareness of audiovisual heritage and its stewards, the UNESCO World Day for Audiovisual Heritage (WDAVH) is an event aimed at the general public to  draw attention not only to the range of at-risk audiovisual formats and genres, but also to promote community building among cultural institutions and archives.

In 2011, the theme was “Out of the Frame: Preserving Faces and Voices from the Margins: an evening of moving images and sound from archival collections in New York City.” With 2012, the theme “Electing Change” was chosen to resound with the election cycle.  This year’s theme is “Surveillance.”

-the world premier of "Les Girls", recipient of 2012 National Film Preservation Foundation grant

-a darkly comic celebrity stalking piece, "Joe DiMaggio, 1,2,3"

-Cold War propaganda-cum-reportage from the C.I.A.
