One of our great pleasures is sharing the work our colleagues at other film archives are doing to preserve cinema's heritage, allowing us to experience cinema as it was meant to be seen-and heard. Our preservation celebration kicks off February 13 with a screening of Dziga Vertov's ear-opening first sound film, Enthusiasm, presented in a restored print introduced by Caroline Yeager of George Eastman House. UCLA Film and Television Archive's biennial Festival of Preservation showcases their restoration and preservation work under the direction of Robert Gitt, our guest from February 17 to 20. In the sparkling prints he brings, we can view with fresh insight themes that weave through the decades in American cinema. No UCLA Archive festival would be complete without a joyride through the twists and turns of cinema's past; join us for Robert Gitt's excursion into the history of color in cinema, and a program of Vitaphone shorts from the unsilent twenties, the age of jazz and vaudeville.
