Film is Dead. Long Live Film!

Director:
Peter Flynn

Welcome into the vanishing world of private film collecting, an obsessive, secretive, often illicit world of basement film vaults, piled-high with forgotten reels, inhabited by passionate cinephiles devoted to the rescue and preservation of photochemical film. Condemned as pirates and hounded by the FBI, film collectors have long lurked in the shadows. Yet their efforts have resulted in the survival of countless films that would otherwise have been lost to history and maybe it's high time they get the recognition they deserve.
