KODAK FELLOWSHIP in Film Preservation


The Eastman Kodak Company and the Association of Moving Image Archivists have announced plans to award the third annual Kodak Fellowship in Film Preservation in 2002.  Presented each year to a student of merit who intends to pursue a career as a moving image archivist, the Kodak Fellowship offers a unique package of educational benefits and training opportunities.  This year the student selected as the Kodak Fellow will receive:

·       A $4,000 scholarship for the 2002-03 academic year.  Funds will be sent to the student?s educational institution and credited toward tuition and/or registration fees.

·       Complementary registration to the AMIA Conference in Boston, November 18-23, 2002.  In addition, reimbursements and/or a per diem will be provided to cover travel, hotel accommodations, and other reasonable costs.

·       A six-week internship at Kodak and other film restoration facilities in Los Angeles during the summer of 2003.  Transportation and housing will be provided at no cost, and the student will be paid an hourly wage to offset other living expenses.  The curriculum of the internship will include film handling, identification of elements, inspection and repair techniques and both photochemical and digital restoration.
 
To be eligible for the Kodak Fellowship, students must be enrolled in a graduate-level or other advanced program in moving image studies or production, library or information services, archival administration, museum studies or a related discipline; or must be accepted into such a program for the next academic year.  Applicants must have a good academic record, strong organizational and interpersonal skills, and a demonstrated interest in pursuing a career in the moving image archival field.  They must also be at least 21 years of age on or before July 1, 2003 and possess a valid drivers license. 

Students from any country may apply.  Kodak and AMIA realize that students who are not U.S. citizens will need employment authorization documents to participate in the summer internship.  Should an international student be awarded the fellowship, Kodak will make all reasonable efforts to obtain the necessary documents.
