The Symposium on Heritage Film provides an opportunity for film makers, distributors, broadcasters, indigenous groups, and archaeologists to come together and share ideas and perspectives. The Symposium format will be fairly informal, involving presentations from individual producers followed by a round-table discussion on goals, problems, techniques, and experiences among those who are connected with, or wish to be connected with, the genre of film on archaeology and indigenous peoples.
