Seagate Hard Drives “Save” the Tokyo Global Environmental Film Festival

Seagate Technology (NYSE: STX), the world’s leading supplier of hard disc drives, announced that it is providing desktop PC hard drives to the EARTH VISION Organization, -sponsor of the Tokyo Global Environmental Film Festival, for use in archiving and preserving more than 100 film entries from past festivals. The initiative is part of Seagate’s global citizenship program comprising a range of community-based and educational activities. The EARTH VISION Organization holds the annual Tokyo Global Environmental Film Festival as a forum for examining global environmental issues through motion pictures. The festival attracts a large number of entries from around the world each year.

“We are extremely grateful to Seagate and other sponsors that have made it possible for us to share and archive the entries to our film festival,” said Takashi Hirano, secretary-general of the EARTH VISION Organization “The creation of a digital archive provides great support for our future activities, as it establishes a system that will allow us to continue with educational programs for protecting the global environment.” “Seagate is honored to participate in such a worthwhile project,” said Tsuyoshi Kobayashi, president of Nippon Seagate, Inc. “Our storage solutions are used by filmmakers around the world, and this project is particularly important because it preserves the ideas and visions of ecologically minded filmmakers for generations to come.”
