Film Is Dead. Long Live Film!

“Film Is Dead. Long Live Film!” explores the vanishing world of private film collecting-an obsessive, secretive, often illicit world of basement film vaults, piled-high with forgotten reels, and inhabited by passionate cinephiles devoted to the rescue and preservation of photochemical film. The result is a lively tribute to the private film collector, a celebration of the fetishistic subculture of pre-video movie-love, and a timely reminder of the glories of analog film.

My take

A passionate love letter to analog film and the obsessive collectors who rescue it from obscurity. This is for cinema lovers, archivists, and anyone who believes some things are worth preserving in their original form—it's nostalgic without being sentimental, intimate without being insular.
