The importance of preserving film

NEWS: The Film is Fabulous Trust

Film is Fabulous! are delighted to announce that, after lengthy consultation with The Charity Commission, their application to become a charitable trust has been approved.

In accordance with the legal obligations a board of trustees, plus a panel of advisors, have been appointed to oversee the delivery of the trust’s five primary objectives:

* To support private film collectors and the U.K.’s film collecting community, by providing advice, guidance, and practical assistance.

* To promote the cataloguing of private collections (with the requisite permissions), and to fulfil the wishes of collectors, and their estates.

* To identify and research missing, rare and culturally important films, and to collaborate with the relevant agencies for their preservation.

* To champion the need for recovered films to be screened widely, with affordable licensing agreements through the copyright holders.

* To advance and to encourage public interest, education and training in film as a medium, especially its role within British culture.

There are many advantages to becoming a charitable trust, including an ability to accept donations of money and physical goods, and to apply for funding from grant giving organisations like The National Lottery.

These resources will enable the trustees to implement a detailed business plan. This will encompass many of the things learned during the pilot scheme, and will allow Film is Fabulous! to deliver a better, more defined, end-to-end service to film collectors, former industry professionals, and their estates.

The trustees believe that the next 5 years will be critical as, sadly, elderly private collectors and former industry professionals die, and their films become vulnerable. The pilot scheme showed that no other organisation in the U.K. is acting to preserve films, and our shared cultural heritage, in a similar manner.

Conferment of charitable trust status also establishes a clear mandate for the work currently being undertaken by the Film is Fabulous! team, the details of which will be published shortly.
