I am a lurker who enjoys the endless discussions on film versus video, anyhow I am also on Media Librarian discussion list and I know some of you have contact or ties to film archives so I thought I would copy this post over for anyone who has interest, I am pretty sure the librarian wants to give their 16mm films to someone who will preserve them, so all of you found footage artist should probably not bother the poor person but you never know, they will probably be destroyed if they are not taken, so it is worth a shot...
I have to do some very extreme weeding of our remaining 16mm films. (Losing their storage space. Space for VHS & DVDs is not effected, fortunately.)
Do you have archives or other places you’d suggest I contact, who might want to give some reels a new home?
(I’ve sent films to the Chicago Film Archive, Harvard’s, and have a list to go to David in Rhode Island.)
