I agree that we shouldn't hand over our archives to a non-public organisation, but think its a bit rough to be dismissing the Film Archive when they have been surviving for years on excruciatingly small amounts of funding. Don't forget, they started to save our film heritage - if they hadn't done so we wouldn't have much of what we do. Perhaps if they had received the NZ On Screen funding, they could be doing the sterling job that NZ on Screen is? To some extent the issue is silo'd funding between broadcasting and heritage, so its good that its being looked at. Also some great music videos on the NZFA site that they did with Roger Shepard I think.
