Advisory Group
The Missing Movies Advisory Group is a diverse gathering of filmmakers, archivists, legal minds, scholars, and industry professionals who generously offer their insight and expertise in support of our mission. This group plays a vital role in helping us navigate the complex challenges of film preservation and access, ensuring that films lost to rights issues or neglect have a path back to the public.
