Subject: Re: [Fwd: [AMIA-L] CFA screening of restored films]Just to keep things accurate, the CFA screening did NOT show the newly preserved prints as scheduled. The preserved prints were not ready in time, so the old Film Group prints were shown. (They still looked good, though. Black and white, so no color fading problems, and seemingly in good physical condition. I'm eager to see the preserved prints, however).
The CFA is doing some great work and the preservation efforts they've undertaken are important. Chicago independent/experimental/documentary film history and artists are badly undocumented, although in the last few years there have been the beginnings of attempts to deal with this on several fronts. Hopefully this will continue.
Credit should be given to the National Film Preservation Foundation for their support of CFA's preservation work and for the two projects of Chicago Filmmakers (coordinated by Carolyn Faber): Allen Ross's "The Grandfather Trilogy" (completed) and eight films of Tom Palazzolo (underway - through an Avant-Garde Masters grant and a regular NFPF grant).
Cicero March is indeed a pretty amazing film.
