خلاصه داستان : مستندی درباره تجربه‌های مدرن سینمایی به روایت جمعی از مهمترین فیلمسازان تاریخ سینما.... از شانتال آکرمن تا عباس کیارستمی.

Using the words and ideas of great filmmakers, from archival interviews with Alfred Hitchcock and Robert Bresson to new interviews with Mike Leigh, David Lynch, and Jonas Mekas, Oscar-winning filmmaker Chuck Workman shows what these filmmakers and others do that can't be expressed in words - but only in cinema.

خلاصه داستان : این مستند فیلم را از طریق صدای متخصصان مهمی که برای اطمینان از زنده ماندن و در دسترس ماندن تصاویر متحرک کمک کرده اند، بررسی می کند.

Why are we still able, today, to view images that were captured over 125 years ago? As we enter the digital age, audiovisual heritage seems to be a sure and obvious fact. However, much of cinema and our filmed history has been lost forever. Archivists, technicians and filmmakers from different parts of the world explain what audiovisual preservation is and why it is necessary. The documentary is a tribute to all these professionals and their important work.
