Why so much cinema has been lost forever
- 艺术与文化
We've been making motion pictures for well over 100 years, but an incalculable number of films have vanished: destroyed in noxious fires, lost in estates, even traded as war booty. A new book tells the stories of these doomed productions, from the early silent film era right through to our digital age of 'cloud' storage. Guest: Simon Miraudo, writer and film critic, author 'Last Rites for Lost Films: Charred Celluloid, Digital Decay and the Certain Death of Cinema', Low Heroes PressProducer: Jack Schmidt Get in touch: Email us at [email protected]
