In his classic novel “Closely Watched Trains,” made into an Oscar-winning film by Jiří Menzel in 1966, the Czech writer Bohumil Hrabal describes his fellow countrymen generally as opportunistic, indolent and with an elastic sense of morality.
I don’t know when I first went to Syracuse for Cinefest, an annual, four-day weekend convention of film collectors and fans of old movies. The event includes a market for memorabilia and 16mm screenings at a local hotel from 9 a.m.
Success came rather early to me. In 1984, at the age of 33, I was hired as Associate Curator of the Film Department at George Eastman House, then the fourth largest nitrate-holding film archive in the United States. Less than three years later, I become Senior Curator and head of the department.
