The UCLA Film & Television Archive’s biannual Festival of Preservation begins today at the Hammer Museum. The 22nd festival will present 11 feature films, four television programs and 30 short works, cartoons and newsreels at the Billy Wilder Theater. All works have been newly preserved and restored by the UCLA Film & Television Archive and its partners and funders, including the theatrical debut of Budd Boetticher’s “The Magnificent Matador,” (1955), pictured above.
Conserved in a state-of-the-art facility in Santa Clarita, the archive is home to more than 520,000 films, television programs, news footage and radio recordings. The collection is second only to the Library of Congress, and its archive preservationists and curators travel through time to restore and protect the media works, creating opportunities for research. Visit the festival website for more information.
