UCLA Festival of Preservation

A collage of images from five movies. In the top left is an animated still with two animals that look like goats or donkeys in a clearing with trees and shrubs. One animal is brown and is looking at the other animal, who is red with a yellow flower in its mouth. In the middle left is a still a comedian Richard Pryor in a dark suit with a dark tie with white dots. Richard Pryor is exclaiming with his eyes wide and mouth open. In the bottom left is a still of Abbott and Costello from a black and white film. They standing in a living room in front of a fire place with a lamp on the table, wearing dark gray suits with black bowler hats. They both are looking at something off screen to the right. In the top right is a still image from the black and white film "A Midsummer Night’s Dream" from 1928. The image has a person in a fantastical black costume that looks like a unitard with speckled sequins. The person has a blank expression with white face makeup and black eyeshadow around their eyes. They are wearing a feathery headdress. In the bottom right of the collage is a still from the 1999 movie The Annihilation of Fish. Lynn Redgrave has light skin complexion and curly reddish-brown hair and is wearing a white floral dress with a red shawl and James Earl Jones has medium tone skin and is wearing a gray suit and eyeglasses. They both are sitting down with water in the background.

Now in its 21st edition, the biennial UCLA Festival of Preservation showcases the UCLA Film & Television Archive’s latest preservation and restoration projects on the big screen. From the silent film era to the Golden Age of television to 1990s independent filmmaking, the diverse festival lineup features beloved classics and rarely seen titles ripe for rediscovery, along with special guests for introductions and conversations. The festival’s 10 feature films, four television programs and over a dozen shorts and newsreels reflect the breadth of moving image history in the Archive’s collections, which are the second largest in the U.S. after the Library of Congress.
