Since it's founding, the Birmingham Salon has expanded to encompass all of the county and became The Jefferson County Salon. Drawing on this experience and talent, Salon participants can be informed about subjects ranging from the merits of orthochromatic silver nitrate film to resolving NLE software conflicts. Whether the project is a short personal film, a student film, an indie movie or a big studio movie, Jefferson County has been supportive of all and has seen a few notable film endeavors emerge from it's meetings. As part of it's educational and media advocacy role, Jefferson County will be continuing to strengthen it's association with local education institutions, AIVF salons. other film groups, local art groups and foundations, state business leaders, the Birmingham City Council and the Alabama Film Office. All are invited to attend no matter what level of experience, to learn, participate and contribute to the film community. There is a free subscription to an electronic magazine, an ezine, of local filmmaking information and a web site with AIVF Jefferson County information at www.reelscene.com .
