mayhap it ’s because I ’m a film and telecasting buff , but I just read an clause that rocked my world a bit , and I recommend that you read it , too .
By Ken Weissman , a member of the LoC since 1982 who has overseen film restorations like Mr. Smith exit to Washington and The Maltese Falcon , his story is not a simple sum-up of how a dyad of librarians dust off old celluloid .
It ’s a tarradiddle of how we learned to preserve 140 million foot of nitrate - era combustibles ( early film print that were censor for starting fires ) , copy damaged old stocks as pristine Modern films ( using dry cleanup answer ) and keep the film we have now for up to 2000 twelvemonth without heavy private road ( by freezing it ) .
You wo n’t rue the read — I imagine everyone will learn something from it — so head on over to Creative Cow to check it out . [ originative Cow , Thanksbornonbord ! ]
( Note : The image here is of a composition mark , not actual film — more on that in the clause . )
