Presented a very well received lecture and screening of These Amazing Shadows, on Sunday, May 6th, at the Hewlett-Woodmere Public Library. The documentary, produced in 2011, demonstrates the importance of the National Film Registry, the list of films preserved by the Library of Congress. Each year, since 1989, the Library of Congress selects 25 films, which are preserved for their historical and cultural signifigance. I opened the program by declaring that audiences and films have had a century old love affair: a beautiful friendship, as mentioned in Casablanca. A few attendees were moved to tears, since the film drives home the fact that film represents us: our dreams, where we were, and where we are going.
