	MovieMaker Magazine Issue #43 How to Nominate a Classic
		According to various Film Board-related web sites, including http://lcweb.loc.gov/film and www.film preservation.org, less than 20 percent of the feature films made during the 1920s have survived intact, and only about half of the features made before 1950 are still viable.
		One intriguing aspect of the National Film Board is that both luminaries and peons—members of the public like you and me—can nominate films for consideration.
		Also exacerbating the preservation process is the fact that color films made during the past 40 years are fading and need to be restored, which is a painstaking and expensive undertaking.

		The purpose of the Roundtable was to meet one of the objectives of the U.S. National Film Preservation Plan, to make strides toward selecting and preserving some of the most threatened and overlooked corners of our film heritage: amateur and small gauge film.
		In November 2000 the Small Gauge Film Preservation Task Force was active at the AMIA conference in Los Angeles.
		The comparatively low cost of film stock, cameras and projectors meant that the small gauges were, until the advent of video, the least restricted moving-image media and most accessible to people not included in many other forms of media creation.
