Archival Producers Alliance was founded in 2023 as a way for independent archival producers to come together, create community, and develop best practices around our unique role within the film industry. Our group represents over 300 archival producers - and counting - from across the US and internationally.
We are taking our unique collective knowledge and using it to influence policy and affect change within the industry. Our first initiative has been to write a set of Guidelines around the use of Generative AI in documentary films. Beyond this, the APA plans to advocate for the accessibility of undigitized archives, educate the larger film community about our craft, and work to make archival materials more affordable for independent filmmakers.
To make change, we need resources. Your donations will go toward foundational organizational support including our educational programming, developing guideline implementation tool-kits, and everything else that the APA does and is building toward. Right now, we are an entirely volunteer-run organization, and your donation will make a difference!
** The APA operates under the fiscal sponsorship of the IDA, a 501(c)(3) organization, and therefore donations may be tax deductible. Please consult your tax advisor to determine deductibility of this contribution. **
