In the ensuing 43 years, the Festival has presented over 4,500 films from all over the world and brought to San Francisco hundreds of film directors, actors and other creative artists that have been involved in the making of some of history's most memorable films. Here the materials are securely stored under archival conditions with temperature and humidity controls and are accessible for examination, research and loan. The Levin Archive will be open to the public on a regular weekly basis. The Archive's photos, posters and clipping files will be available as the source for unique educational exhibits. The Archive is located in the lower level of the San Francisco Film Centre, Building 39, the Presidio.
Archive resources are available to producers.
Film students and others are welcome to browse. Photos and posters are available for loan by request. The Film Society's efforts to develop the Levin Archive are ongoing and still need many hundreds of hours of volunteer labor. Volunteers are needed to complete the files and databases and to staff the front desk.
