I spoke with Mary Harron, as well as the kind folks at @MilestoneFilms, for this piece on Missing Movies, a new organization dedicated to saving cinema. https://t.co/FdA6aVufkT

In a perfect world, film distributors, curators and educators would all be in touch with archives about their holdings and share a more nuanced and proactive form of appraising digital copies. I have a piece in the next AMIA Moving Image Journal about this https://t.co/VXIbTMF2pl

Missing Movies is a great idea and I love these folks for coming up with it. The site has a page listing the films they are working to spring from movie jail. They also have a link to email them "if you know of others." Do we know of others. Ha! https://t.co/qRmghnO9ix

“Martin Scorsese’s The Film Foundation said that basically half of all American films made before 1950 are lost, & none of the major distributors are looking for them. Even worse, they said that more than 90% of films made before 1929 are lost forever.”https://t.co/MTM4ydiBhb
