Description
A Light Affliction: A History of Film Preservation and Restoration by Michael Binder The history of film preservation and restoration is a story of perseverance and dedication. From the early days of cinema in the Victorian era, when millions of feet of celluloid were produced but largely ignored, to the modern digital age, where new methods of preservation and restoration have emerged. This book tells the story of the pioneers who worked tirelessly to save the world's cinematic heritage from destruction. The 1930s saw the first concerted efforts at film preservation, led by individuals such as Iris Barry, Ernest Lindgren, and Henri Langlois. Their work was crucial in preserving the world's cinematic heritage, despite the challenges they faced. The 1980s video boom marked a turning point, as studios began to take steps to protect their assets, and new methods of preservation and restoration were developed. Today, film preservation and restoration continue to evolve, with new technologies and techniques being developed to preserve the world's cinematic heritage for future generations. This book provides a comprehensive history of the subject, from the early days of cinema to the present day.
