Our Movie Heritage

Tom McGreevey, Joanne L. Yeck

4.9/5 (17686 ratings)

Description:Movies are the liveliest art but may also prove to be one of the most fragile and vulnerable. Eighty percent of all movies made before 1929 are gone, as are 50 percent of the films produced before 1950, and even recent screen classics like Vertigo and Jaws have deteriorated. The reasons for our disappearing film heritage include the unstable nature of early cellulose nitrate, studio neglect and even destruction of films, and public apathy. Actor-turned-writer McGreevey and independent film scholar Yeck offer a concise review of current film preservation efforts and a compelling call for further action. The authors advocate a combined effort by government, dedicated individuals, film societies, archives, and studios interested in preserving a valuable commodity. What to save and who will pay for it are two of the nagging questions of film rescues. A glossary of preservation terms and useful Internet sites complete this excellent work, which is recommended for large film collections. (LIBRARY JOURNAL)We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging. And by having access to our ebooks online or by storing it on your computer, you have convenient answers with Our Movie Heritage.
