The importance of media preservation has in recent years achieved much broader public recognition. From the vaults of Hollywood and the halls of Congress to the cash-strapped museums of developing nations, people are working to safeguard film from physical harm. But the forces at work aren't just physical. The endeavor is also inherently political. What gets saved and why? What remains ignored? Who makes these decisions, and what criteria do they use? Saving Cinema narrates the development of the preservation movement and lays bare the factors that have influenced its direction. Archivists do

Film archives are fast spreading around the world, and with them issues surrounding archival digitisation, artistic appropriation, and academic reinterpretation of film material that demand scholarly attention. Exploring Past Images in a Digital Age: Reinventing the Archive aims to fill this demand with a thought-provoking collection of original articles contributed by renowned scholars, archivists, and artists. It urges the reader to "forget" standard ways of thinking about film archives and come to grips with the challenges of analysing and recontextualising an area in transit from the analogue to the digital. The book not only throws light on unexplored issues related to film archives but also introduces unconventional approaches and alternative sources for scholarly research and a vast range of artistic possibilities.

La question de la conservation, de la restauration et de la diffusion du patrimoine cinématographique et audiovisuel devient de plus en plus cruciale. Des pans entiers de l'histoire du cinéma demeurent toujours difficiles d'accès et sont souvent menacés de disparition. Que faire de ces gisements de films et de documents audiovisuels que les archives ont de moins en moins les ressources et la possibilité de faire connaître ? Où commence et où s'arrête la notion de patrimoine filmique ? Quels sont les critères de pertinence qui mènent une cinémathèque ou une archive à favoriser la restauration de telle œuvre plutôt que telle autre ? Comment la redécouverte de certains corpus de films contribue à modifier notre connaissance de l'histoire du cinéma ? Quelle influence la conservation et la patrimonialisation du cinéma a eu sur les créateurs de cinéma ? Comment ces œuvres participent d'une forme de valorisation singulière du patrimoine filmique ? Quels sont les nouveaux défis des cinémathèques et des archives dans la conservation et la restauration du patrimoine filmique ? Quels rôles jouent les « nouveaux supports » dans la conservation de certaines zones oubliées du patrimoine cinématographique ? Sans avoir la prétention d’épuiser les multiples ramifications de ces questions pressantes, vastes et complexes, cet ouvrage voudrait poser quelques jalons d’une réflexion plus que jamais nécessaire sur l’avenir de la mémoire des archives cinématographiques et audiovisuelles.

Rich in detail, this is a study of the interrelationships between film historical discourse and archival practices. Exploring the history of several important collections from the EYE Film Museum in Amsterdam, Bregt Lameris shows how archival films and collections always carry the historical traces of selection policies, restoration philosophies, and exhibition strategies. The result is a compelling argument that film archives can never be viewed simply as innocent or neutral sources of film history.
