As the new Facebook group, For the Love of Film: The Film Preservation Blogathon, notes, "Nitrate preservation costs $3.00 per foot of film preserved. Without the work of dedicated organizations like the NFPF (National Film Preservation Foundation), films without commercial potential are doomed." It's sad but true.
If you love film, it's important to become involved, or to stay informed. Visit the National Film Preservation Foundation website or Facebook page for more info on the subject.
Speaking of staying informed . . . A two-part article by Marjorie Galas was recently published on-line at 411 News. Part one is Film Preservation In The Advent of Digital Media: A Discussion with AMPAS Head of Preservation Mike Pogorzelski, and part two is Video Preservation And The Future Of Digital Preservation: Understanding the hurdles surrounding film preservation. Each are worth reading.
