SIGHT AND SOUND UPDATE
(No.39 September / October 2016)
PRESIDENT LEAVES
Bill Gaynor has resigned as AMMPT President for personal reasons. As you read this edition of Sight and Sound he and wife Joan will be holidaying in or have just returned from Japan. During Bill’s tenure as President the difficult transition from Sunday morning to Wednesday morning screenings of the “Classics” films was made. Further the likelihood of museum permanency at Sunset was enhanced. He has also been a prolific reviewer of the AMMPT 16mm film collection and shown a great commitment to the organisation.
DEPARTMENT FOR THE ARTS
Duncan Ord the CEO of the Department for Culture and the Arts was recently given a viewing and briefing on progress at the AMMPT Museum by Curator Roy Mudge and Keith Rutherford. Mr Ord and his adviser were impressed and surprised at the embryonic exhibition and provided some advice on a number of matters including storage.
