Introduced by Dominic Angerame Canyon Cinema's preservation project marks the first time in film-preservation history when filmmakers and not archivists have selected works to be preserved, with the filmmakers supervising their films' preservation. Eight films have been preserved thus far in the fledgling program. The project was initiated by Dominique Angerame, director of Canyon Cinema, when he realized that many of the cooperative's prints were unique and irreplaceable. Canyon's Board of Directors selected eight titles out of the collective's 4,000, their criteria for selection being a title's not having an internegative, the film having been shot on reversal, and Canyon holding the only existing or publicly existing print. In the spirit of the filmmaker-operated collective, the eight artists chose their own laboratories and supervised the making of the internegatives and striking of two prints. The internegs are owned by the filmmakers, while the prints are deposited at Canyon for distribution.-Linda Tadic, member, Canyon Cinema Board of Directors To Parsifal by Bruce Baillie (1963, 16 mins).
