These Amazing Shadows

documentary

Nice piece on the National Film Registry. Established in 1989 as a branch of the Library of Congress it was a reaction to the colorizing despoliation being carried out by Ted Turner at the time. Each year 25 films are chosen for preservation and recognition as part of the country's cultural heritage.

Interesting that it took almost to the end of the century for the country to realize that films were important and worth preserving.
