[The American Film Institute was founded 1967 to help preserve American film heritage and to help those working in the film industry with their profession. The director of the AFI, George Stevenson, played the leading role of establishing the Center for Advanced Film Studies [AFICAS], the purpose of which was to have programmes to train and educate its fellows in their relevant fields.
