     PRELINGER: FILM: THE LIVING RECORD OF OUR MEMORY

    We are over the moon to have snagged the NorCal debut of this major international doc, especially since one of its principal interviewees, Rick Prelinger, is here in-person to introduce it! A Spanish-Canadian co-production, Inés Toharia Terán‘s epic two-hour overview automatically becomes thee up-to-date ‘bible’ on arguably the most critical cinematic practice of our particular time: film archiving! The cast of interview subjects includes B.Morrison, D.Streible, J.Mekas, K.Loach, K.Brownlow, M.Toscano, M.Scorsese, S.Bromberg, and many others! They explain what film preservation is and why it is needed. Our protagonists are custodians of film whose work behind the scenes safeguards the survival of motion pictures. Note: tonight there’s no first half/intermission, but come early for pre-show pieces  on Rick himself, on Stephen Parr‘s Oddball Films, and on proto-cinema (16mm!). $13
