October 27 is World Day for Audiovisual Heritage. For this year, the theme is: Audiovisual Heritage - See, Hear and Learn!
Audiovisual heritage are recorded sounds, films, television, radio and other productions (primarily of the 20th and 21st
centuries) created and preserved because of their historical value. AV
heritage has transcended language and cultural boundaries of
information, as well as literacy and illiteracy in complement with
traditional printed records. Most audiovisual heritage had
been destroyed and damaged because of neglect, decay and lack of
knowledge and resources. Until on October 27, 2005, the UNESCO approved
the World Day for AV Heritage to raise public awareness of the
importance of audiovisual heritage and the need to preserve them.
In
the Philippines, aside from World Day for AV Heritage, another thing to
celebrate is finally the establishment of a national film archive under
the supervision of the Film Development Council of the Philippines. See
