The Science and Technology Council’s activities are centered on three primary areas:

• Motion picture technology projects
  With the work of the Council’s Advanced Technology Programs Subcommittee, the Academy has reestablished its role as a primary forum for the discussion of many important technological issues facing the industry.
  
  
• The history of motion picture technology
  The Council’s Technology History Subcommittee serves the Academy’s cultural mission from a science and technology perspective.
  
  
• Public programs and education
  The Council’s Public Programs and Education Subcommittee produces innovative public programs to educate both industry professionals and the public-at-large on how technology serves the art form.
