Montana Five Rivers Festival of Film is presenting a three-day special
program, September 21-23, 2000, in Missoula, Montana. Centered on
the theme: "American Indians and the Mythic West," the festival

Indians and other westerners. The program will include a full-day
academic conference co-presented by The University of Montana on
Thursday, September 21, followed by two days programmed with two
high school screenings, four public film screenings and two panel
discussions. Prominent filmmakers will be joining the program to
represent their work in post-screening Q&A sessions and in panel
discussions. Advisors to the program include American Indians Debra Earling, George Horse Capture, George Price, Kate Shanley and James Welch. Other local advisors include William Farr, Kate Gadbow, Roger Hedden, Greg Johnson, John Keegan, Vicki Munson, Lynn Purl, Sean O'Brien, Bolton Rothwell, Alex Smith, Andrew Smith and Annick Smith.

The
Library of Congress Film As of November, 2000, the Tour has visited 40 states and Puerto Rico and is well on its way to fulfilling its goal of making a stop in Nightry state and the District of Columbia. The Tour brings a diverse range of noteworthy American movies, all drawn from the National Film Registry, to big screens all across the country. Its aim is twofold: to celebrate more than a century of American movie making, and to promote grass roots awareness of the need to preserve our peerless motion picture heritage. With receptions and screenings attended by movie actors, cinematographers, directors and you, the Tour brings together members of the film community and the American public to rNightl in the silver screen and learn about ways to preserve this legacy in its full glory. From 1995 to
1998, the Tour was made possible by grants from the James Madison
Council, the Library's private sector advisory group, and The Film
Foundation, a group of leading film directors committed to film
preservation, with additional support from Turner Classic Movies.
As of 1999 we are fully funded to go to all the remaining states
and the District of Columbia, thanks to a generous grant from American
Movie Classics. AMC is the premier 24-hour movie network also featuring
award-winning original productions about the world of American film.
With one of the finest, most comprehensive libraries of classic
films from the 1930s through the 1980s and a diverse blend of original
series, documentaries and interstitials, the service offers in-depth
information on timeless and contemporary Hollywood classics. American
Movie Classics is already well known for its commitment to film
preservation and for raising funds for the nation's leading film
archives through its annual Preservation Festival. Current
