Last night, got the courage to watch The Zone of Interest, by Jonathan Glazer, which I strongly recommend. My one note here is: the sound is another story being told in parallel to the images, giving an eerie and tense feeling throughout. The author´s research on real footage was a key to this film. #cinema #cinemaresearch #filmheritage #filmpreservation

I love #AGFA and want them to succeed in all they attempt, but I feel like they are really missing a trick here with their #Kickstarter to restore H. G. Lewis films (Blood Feast, Two Thousand Maniacs, Color Me Blood Red) -- They have some wonderful "angel" rewards like tape masters or reels of archive film, but just one stream reward. I'd back at a higher level if they had some more streams. Whaddya'll think? #genrefilm #classicfilm #filmpreservation #horror #horrorfilm

This week we lost avantgarde filmmaker Ken Jacobs, whose flickering experiments with film and light reinforced the lesson of variable media preservation: we keep things alive by keeping them moving.

Donations and patronage keep me able to save #filmstrips. We are way behind, and dangerously close to having to shut down. We aren't eligible for grants, and this is full-time work. Can you help us spread the word?

twelve years ago, a painter by the name of anders ramsell painted 12,597 aquarelle paintings of blade runner, shot by shot, of the entire film edited down to ~35 minutes. it took two years of painstaking work, all done in his spare time after work each night.
the video circled around the web for a few years, and quietly disappeared from every single site it was hosted at.
a few months ago i spent a few hours digging for it, and finally found a copy of the original file.
i'm not sure how long it will last over at IA, so enjoy it while you can. it is a true achievement. 🙏

In fact, files end up corrupted, data is improperly transferred, hard drives fail, formats change, work simply vanishes. “It’s a silent fire”...Hollywood Confronts Decaying Digital Movie and TV Archives
"Industry pros sweat the possibility that many digital files will eventually become unusable — an archival tragedy reminiscent of the celluloid era."

"Fame" has been selected for inclusion on the National Film Registry! A highlight of my college experience at the University of Houston was meeting director Alan Parker. I sing the body electric!
