I love #AGFA and want them to succeed in all they attempt, but I feel like they are really missing a trick here with their #Kickstarter to restore H. G. Lewis films (Blood Feast, Two Thousand Maniacs, Color Me Blood Red) -- They have some wonderful "angel" rewards like tape masters or reels of archive film, but just one stream reward. I'd back at a higher level if they had some more streams. Whaddya'll think? #genrefilm #classicfilm #filmpreservation #horror #horrorfilm

This week we lost avantgarde filmmaker Ken Jacobs, whose flickering experiments with film and light reinforced the lesson of variable media preservation: we keep things alive by keeping them moving.

Donations and patronage keep me able to save #filmstrips. We are way behind, and dangerously close to having to shut down. We aren't eligible for grants, and this is full-time work. Can you help us spread the word?

Due to Aitum Multistream not working properly on MacOS, I've borked the old live stream URL. Keep watching me save filmstrips to send to the Internet Archive at this new URL:
