Restoration of an old film costs from $15,000 to $40,000. Nearly 75 percent of the films produced between the years 1893 and 1930 have disintegrated and are lost forever. They were made on a nitrate-based stock, which has a life span from 40 to 80 years, and only under ideal conditions. Active efforts are currently underway to preserve what old films still remain. This action has been spearheaded by UCLA, Ted Turner, and other concerned industry members. |
