"Today's audiences can experience the most unusual, the most entertaining and exciting treasures from the entire range of cinema's past, all brought back to life by the Archive's team of crack preservationists." —Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
"For true cinephiles, nothing lets a movie really sing like a pristine celluloid print. In which case, UCLA's Festival of Preservation is a veritable opera." —Matt Sussman, Flavorpill
"There's so much to discover here." —Leonard Maltin
Highlights from the 2013 UCLA Festival of Preservation will screen for audiences outside of Los Angeles in select North American venues.
The Festival showcases cherished classics and seldom-seen gems of American film culture newly restored by UCLA Film & Television Archive, spanning an entire century of moving image media: classic Hollywood feature films, television programs, newsreels, silents, documentaries and contemporary independents.
