I have informed the Film Preservation Society (FPS) so hopefully they can resolve this. I believe the .jp site is affiliated with the <a href="http://homemovieday.com" target="_blank">homemovieday.com</a>. the main site for FPS has its own domain name, but the site for the Film Salvation project is through <a href="http://homemovieday.com" target="_blank">homemovieday.com</a>. </div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Dear Cathy, <div><br></div><div>Sorry. I just checked and they are working for me. I am not sure why it was giving you an error. But here are some more links to the Film Salvation project some in english and some in japanese hopefully at least one will work. I've also attached a jpeg of the poster of the project. </div>
<div><br></div><div>If you know anyone that may benefit from the services offered by the project please let them know. I hear that during the rubble removal, people are able to pull out photo albums to be saved, but I have not heard of films/videos being saved. I think its common to think these damaged film/videos are lost cause. </div>

<br></div><div>The Film Preservation Society has started the Film Salvation Project shortly after the earthquake to save films and videos damaged by the earthquake/tsunami. They are offering free services to clean the films/video and is not limited to 3.11 related damages (I am not sure if they are already accepting them, but they have plans to deal with any water-damaged materials in the future). </div>

<div><br></div><div>It has been 10 months since the earthquake and there are still large problems to be dealt with, but I hope more people will be able to utilize the services offered by the film salvation project to save home movies and other moving image materials. </div>
