Abstract

In an effort to reach a potential archaeological audience within the public sector, a film program was presented through the Extension Division at two campuses of the University of California. Described are some of the benefits and pitfalls involved in using the film festival format, along with the results of a questionnaire designed to generate data on audience make-up and motivation.
