NHF's fourth annual Summer Film Symposium took place August 8 and 9, 2003 at the Alamo Theatre in Bucksport, Maine. Toward Access, Interpretation and Understanding focused on moving images as culturally significant documents. The unifying thread was the discussion of archival film (surviving film of any genre made available for study and reuse) as having inherent qualities worthy of analysis and interpretation. The Symposium's participants offered theoretical constructs and practical applications for developing academic and public recognition of the value of motion picture films as historical documents. The gathering was moderated by Mark Neumann of the University of South Florida.
