Legacy Project: ONE Archive Screening April 19 in L.A.
Coming up in a few weeks in L.A. is this very exciting opportunity to see some rare film and video highlights from the ONE Archives.
My connection to this event is two-fold: 1) Some of the video preservation monies for this arose out of a brief conversation between myself (as a member of the Outfest Legacy Project Advisory Board) and Bay Area Video Coalition staffer Wendy Levy in the aisle of the Castro Theatre before a screening at Frameline two years ago! 2) I am a huge fan of Jim Kepner who was the originator of the ONE Archives and who I got to meet on my first trip to Los Angeles back in like 1986 when he had all his collection crammed into a messy old storefront off of Hollywood Boulevard. He was one of my early inspirations about the importance of saving stuff!

LEGACIES FROM THE ONE NATIONAL GAY & LESBIAN ARCHIVES, a lecture/screening at the UCLA Festival of Preservation
The ONE Archives began in 1942 when writer-activist Jim Kepner created a private collectioen of gay-related materials in New York.

This evening's program presents highlights from a portion of that collection, in conjunction with a discussion hosted by Joseph Hawkins, president of ONE Archive's board of directors, about ONE's crucial role in preserving LGBT history.
