Thanks everyone for the clarifications. but according to cathy who initially responded to my post, said she had trouble accessing the .jp site from germany. i've informed the Film Preservation Society so they can look into it. Everyone who has responded to my post except Cathy looks like they are accessing the pages from the US. so its hard for us to tell what really is the problem here. Its a bummer if there is a country block since its a great project and the videos i mentioned in the first post are great! <div>
<div><br></div><div><a href="http://homemovieday.com">homemovieday.com</a> does have links to <a href="http://homemovieday.jp">homemovieday.jp</a> and the temporary english site for FPS is on <a href="http://homemovieday.jp">homemovieday.jp</a> as well as the film salvation project page so I got the impression that they maybe affiliated in some way. I apologize for my misinterpretation if they are not affiliated. But Home Movie Day is a big international event and <a href="http://homemovieday.com">homemovieday.com</a> does list locations in japan on their site so I think its safe to say that they are connected despite different hosting services.</div>
<div><div><br></div><div>I just hope that more people can become aware of this project to spread the word and possibly help save more home movies and other (possibly rare) moving image materials. Again just a reminder, but the project is not 3.11 exclusive and they plan to work with other water damaged moving image materials. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Joanne mentioned Ishihara Kae. I met her over the winter, which is why I decided to make a post about the film salvation project here after realizing that I haven't seen it mentioned on this listserve. </div>
<div><br></div><div>if anyone abroad continues to have issues accessing the film salvation page or any other pages of the film preservation society. please let me know off list and i will let them know. </div><div><br></div>

</blockquote></div><br></div><div>Definitely. The name collision is probably accidental ... but who knows ... both seem useful to someone interested in media preservation. Maybe they met at a conference, went out for a beer or two, and both came up with the same website idea ... back in 1994 or something :) </div>
