Film & Media Round Table
FMRT Mission
¹ú²úÊÓƵÍø
The Film and Media Round Table (FMRT) supports video advocacy within ALA, within the profession, and within our libraries. We understand ‘video’ to include all formats, analog and digital; multimedia that includes video content; and the network delivery of digital or digitized video. The FMRT works with other organizations within ¹ú²úÊÓƵÍøto promote video collections and services in all types of libraries. The Film and Media Round Table is committed to forging strong alliances and relationships with the film and video production and distribution community to ensure the continuation of a diverse, high-quality universe of video programming.
