Viewers will experience the excitement of a live event, with introductions and conversations with filmmakers and archivists providing an inside look at the restoration process. The Film Foundation Restoration Screening Room is "appointment viewing" with screenings starting at a set time and only available for a limited period, which distinguishes it from other streaming options. The Film Foundation Restoration Screening Room celebrates the collaborative nature of film preservation by highlighting the work of archives and studios, and exhibiting a broad range of restorations, including classic, avant-garde, independent, documentary, silent and short films from every era, genre, and region of the world.

The first presentation of The Film Foundation Restoration Screening Room is I KNOW WHERE I'M GOING! (1945, directed by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger), restored by The Film Foundation and BFI National Archive, in association with ITV and Park Circus, and available for a 24 hour window. The classic romance will be introduced by Scorsese, and tonight's program includes interviews with Thelma Schoonmaker Powell, Joanna Hogg, Tilda Swinton, and Kevin Macdonald; all of whom count the film among their favorites.

    (New York, NY) - APD's Cinema Conservancy program is thrilled to announce the upcoming release of Stations of the Elevated (1981), a 45-minute independent documentary directed, produced and edited by Manfred Kirchheimer, in a new restoration. Shot over the course of 1977 on lush 16mm color reversal stock, the film weaves together vivid images of elevated subway trains crisscrossing New York City's gritty urban landscape. With a complex soundtrack that combines the ambient sounds of the city with the music of Charles Mingus and Aretha Franklin, the film is an impressionistic portrait of and tribute to a New York that has long since disappeared.
