Film, the Living Record of Our Memory
*The event has already taken place on this date: Wed, 01/19/2022
As we move ever further into the digital age, our audiovisual heritage seems to be taken increasingly for granted. However, much of our filmed history and cinema has already been lost forever. Film archivists, curators, technicians, and filmmakers from around the world explain what film preservation is and why it is needed. The protagonists are custodians of film whose work behind the scenes safeguards the survival of motion pictures. It is a task they undertake based on their closely held belief in the artistic and cultural value of the moving image, in tune with a shared mantra that a film might one day transform someone’s life.
