Do you guys remember the 1960’s Skateboard film “Skaterdater”? This year marks the 50th anniversary of the film and it was Noel Black’s (director) dying wish to have this film archived into the National Film Registry. It would be really helpful for the film if you shared this information on your Social Media accounts. Voting ends on September 18, 2015.
It would also be very helpful for people to write letters or emails from now until Sept. 18, 2015 explaining why “Skaterdater” is “culturally, historically or aesthetically significant.”
Send your letters Via email to: filmregistry@loc.gov.
Email is preferred; however, to submit via regular mail, send your nominations to:
