Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 https://hyperallergic.com/538404/momas-dave-kehr-on-film-preservation-and-why-theres-never-enough-money/ Marking its 17th edition this year, the Museum of Modern Art’s To Save and Project festival celebrates newly preserved and restored films, both from the museum’s collection and other archives and distributors from around the world. This year’s slate included the premieres of restorations of silent films by D.W. Griffith and Raoul Walsh, a collection of amateur films in the National Film Registry, a previously unreleased PSA about age discrimination from Night of the Living Dead director George Romeo, and more. To Save and Project represents New York’s biggest film preservation event of the year. Hyperallergic spoke to Dave Kehr, a curator in MoMA’s Department of Film and former film critic at the Chicago Reader and the New York Times, about this year’s festival. The conversation ultimately broadened into how To Save and Project has evolved over the years, how digital has radically changed restoration practices, the funding difficulties archives face, and the generational shift occurring in the film preservation field. This interview has been condensed and edited for clarity. * * * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 35mm archival projection was mentioned in the interview. I thought all projectors caused wear and tear. I didn't know they had such a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Connolly Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 All projectors cause/risk some wear and tear to some degree. But some are better then others. For instance Kinoton E series projectors are much more gentle on film https://www.sprocketschool.org/wiki/Kinoton_FP_30_E 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Posted January 25, 2020 Author Share Posted January 25, 2020 Thanks Phil. Never heard of it. I could not find new ones. Are they still being made? Like everything else guess you gotta go to eBay for one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/KINOTON-FP-38EQS-16mm-35mm-professional-Cine-Projector-Many-Extras-Warranty-/283318526163 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
