“Over the past century, film has changed humankind. From the earliest fragments of captured movement, it has allowed us to watch, document, educate and depict ourselves in untold ways using just the mechanics of light, lenses and chemistry. It is one of our greatest inventions, the art form of the 20th century. Film is a beautiful, physical and robust medium that keeps the light within its fabric and holds in its emulsion the imprint of time. It is our cultural and historical memory: a place of imagination, poetry art and life. . . Now we are on the point of losing it.”
