UCLA Festival of Preservation

The biennial Festival of Preservation from the UCLA Film and Television Archive showcases their masterful restoration and preservation achievements with a broad sampling of the works they have rescued over the past few years, preserving cinema's heritage, allowing us to experience cinema as it was meant to be seen and heard in glorious 35mm prints! Among the pristine prizes from the Festival of Preservation is a Cecil B. DeMille epic, vintage episodes of This Is Your Life, Robert Altman's little-seen masterpiece Come Back to the 5 & Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean, a Paul Strand-photographed docudrama, early Douglas Sirk in blazing black-and-white, silent star Leatrice Joy in a cross-dressing role, Zero Mostel in Waiting for Godot and the premiere of a resurrected gem, Barbara Loden's Wanda. Described by The Los Angeles Times as "the city's most surprising, most stimulating, most invigorating film event," the festival now heads to Seattle! Program titles, notes and schedule available at www.nwfilmforum.org.

"Forget Blu-Ray discs and plasma TVs. For true cinephiles, nothing lets a movie really sing like a pristine celluloid print. In which case, UCLA's Festival of Preservation is a veritable opera." Matt Sussman, Flavorpill
