will be the flagship enterprise to expand AFI's � � � exhibition efforts on a national scale through high-visibility, quality � � � programming in regional markets. The AFI Silver Theatre is part of a huge � � � redevelopment and reinvigoration of the downtown Silver Spring Maryland � � � area. Activities surrounding the Silver, both on the Web and in nearby � � � venues, are beginning now with complete restoration of the AFI Silver � � � Theatre itself expected in Fall 2000. � � � The institute's exhibition efforts at the AFI Silver Theatre will be � � � designed to support the institute's mission to advance and preserve the � � � moving image by presenting the rich legacy of American film and world � � � cinema in the environment in which films were originally intended to be � � � shown and by presenting educational programs that encourage the discussion � � � of American film as an art form. � � � AFI intends to develop the Silver Theatre into a major film & video � � � exhibition center that will be recognized nationally and internationally. |
