The art and practice of film preservation saves many films from decay and disappearance. Thanks to archival and funding organizations, and individuals committed to the care of original film material and the integrity of films in need of restoration, the survival of our film heritage is protected.  We celebrate these efforts and present the work of two independent filmmakers whose recently restored films enable those unfamiliar with their work to discover it for the first time.  These programs provide as well the opportunity to return to films not exhibited in years, giving new life to work now available in beautiful restoration prints.
