27 October: World Day For Audiovisual Heritage
The theme for World Day for Audiovisual Heritage 2019 is “Engage the Past Through Sound and Images”.
In 2005, UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) General Conference declared October 27 as World Day for Audiovisual Heritage.
This commemorative day was chosen by UNESCO in 2005 to raise awareness of the significance and preservation risks of recorded sound and audiovisual documents (films, sound and video recordings, radio and television programmes).
