The director of the Kiribati Campus of the University of the South Pacific on Tarawa, Dr. Ueantabo Mackenzie, had kindly agreed to provide the venue and the necessary technical equipment for the final symposium of the project. The conference first dealt with the historical conditions under which the old film documents were created, then presented the results of the film editing workshop as well as the first findings from questionnaires collected after public screenings. The symposium concluded with a general discussion and the distribution of certificates to the workshop participants (see the program below).
