We recently created this program as an outgrowth of <em><b><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">The Archaeology Channel</span></b></em> International Film and Video Festival (<a href="http://www.archaeologychannel.org/content/TACfestival.shtml" target="_blank"><span class="yshortcuts"><span style="COLOR: blue"><span id="lw_1288030326_2">http://www.archaeologychannel.org/content/TACfestival.shtml</span></span></span></a>), our annual film competition that began in 2003. TAC Festival serves multiple purposes. It fulfills our public mission to tell the human story and promotes the genre of cultural heritage film. It’s an important fund-raising tool for us and a new source of revenue for our film-making partners. For you, this is a new way to bring people to you and create for them a positive and memorable experience focused on cultural legacy.</p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"> </span><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">TAC Festival is the only juried international film competition in the Western Hemisphere for this genre. It is one of the leading archaeology-related <span class="yshortcuts"><span id="lw_1288030326_3">film festivals</span></span> in the world and attracts worldwide attention among film makers and distributors. For TAC Festival 2010, which took place May 18-22 in <span class="yshortcuts"><span id="lw_1288030326_4">Eugene, Oregon</span></span>, we received 100 film entries from 32 countries. We screened 19 of these for the competition and selected the best seven films for the new <em><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">On the Road</span></em> series. You have an opportunity through this series to bring to your audience the world’s best films.</span></p>

We have grouped these seven films into four programs of approximately two hours each. You can select just one, two, three, or all four programs to exhibit at your venue and present them on your own schedule in any order you want. We are happy to work with you if you want to combine the films in some other way. We provide you with all the tools you need to hold the event. If you want, you can sell tickets to the show and use the event as a fund-raiser, or you can simply screen the programs for no charge as part of your round of public programs. It’s quite simple, really, and you can see more details, including the film descriptions and even clips you can watch, on our Web site at <a href="http://www.archaeologychannel.org/content/TACFestOnRoad2010.shtml" target="_blank"><span class="yshortcuts"><span style="COLOR: blue"><span id="lw_1288030326_5">http://www.archaeologychannel.org/content/TACFestOnRoad2010.shtml</span></span></span></a>.</span></p>
