ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
In conjunction with our eighth annual The Archaeology Channel International Film and Video Festival, The Archaeology Channel Conference on Cultural Heritage Film promotes discussion and collaboration regarding the uses of cultural heritage film. TAC Festival and Conference bring to Oregon the world’s best films on archaeology, ancient cultures, and the world of indigenous peoples. The goals of this conference are three-fold: (1) to promote the creation, distribution and use of cultural heritage film as an influence for broad cultural awareness and understanding; (2) to bring together educators, film-makers, archaeologists, anthropologists, historians, journalists, historic preservationists, environmentalists, geographers, and others interested in cultural heritage and its connections to the natural environment; and (3) to encourage the exchange of new ideas and approaches to employ film for the common good of all humanity.
