When I first, you know, became aware of lost film,
00:04
it was more so the realization like artwork in general can just degrade and become lost.
00:12
You know, a lost film by definition would basically, or at least my definition,
00:18
would basically be a film that is otherwise not survived.
00:21
You know, it's a film that for whatever reason, we don't have.
00:28
Going through film and discovering lost elements, it's invigorating.
00:33
It seems like genre films are more vulnerable to being lost because there are fewer prints made of them.
00:42
A lot of times these are independently produced films as opposed to studio films.
00:47
One of the problems with genre films, they were done at the smaller labs.
00:53
And when those labs closed, a lot of negatives disappeared.
00:57
Get me out!
00:58
I come!
01:00
I think that these independent producers weren't thinking about the life of these films
01:05
after their initial exploitation, which is where they're going to make the majority of their money.
01:10
If you want a good smoke, try one of these.
01:13
I mean, they just had a low opinion of the movies.
01:16
They just saw them as a commercial product,
01:18
and they didn't really see them as something that was deserving of being preserved.
01:22
Our mentor Dave Freeman would often say that a film was like a sack of flour.
01:27
Every time you shook it, a little bit more would come out.
