The author brings a historical, economic, and social framework to bear upon this unique community, looking at the people, institutions, and corporations that play key roles in the preservation endeavor. Through ethnographic narratives that place the reader squarely within the scene, Gracy gives readers the context to understand fully the complexities of film archiving work, and what it means to be a member of this profession. This book provides an introduction to the major players in the film community and the internal and external forces that influence film preservation, and a background of the film preservation movement. It also addresses the constraints of funding, intellectual property issues, and the orphan film movement. The primary focus is on the relationships among the various players: archives, studio and film preservation labs, and content owners."--Publisher's description. 650 0 Motion picture film|xPreservation. 650 0 Film archives. 650 7 Film archives.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00924254 650 7 Motion picture film|xPreservation.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01027139 650 17 Preservatie.|2gtt 650 17 Films.|2gtt 776 08 |iOnline version:|aGracy, Karen F.|tFilm preservation. |dChicago : The Society of American Archivists, 2007 |w(OCoLC)608160420 776 08 |iOnline version:|aGracy, Karen F.|tFilm preservation. |dChicago : The Society of American Archivists, 2007 |w(OCoLC)609338722 856 42 |3Table of contents only|uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/toc /ecip077/2006103305.html|zConnect to Table of contents only 956 20140611 |bpfmcq|cCC 957 OCLC xref loaded 20151011 994 C0|bCUY
