As 35mm and 16mm film sadly disappear, so goes the colorful underground network of dealers and collectors who fought over and hoarded these precious prints – often rescuing them from dumpsters and basements.
Join us for a program of rarities assembled by motion picture archivist Jeff Joseph of SabuCat Productions, including footage of Alfred Hitchcock leaving for England to direct STAGE FRIGHT (found in a New Jersey attic); two-color Technicolor footage of the Marx Brothers shooting ANIMAL CRACKERS; the last surviving film of both Greta Garbo and Humphrey Bogart for never-completed projects; Judy Garland’s costume tests for VALLEY OF THE DOLLS; Bela Lugosi interviewed at home in 1931; the only surviving footage of Fred Astaire and choreographer Hermes Pan dancing together (discovered in Pan’s closet); ultra-rare commercials and PSAs including comedians Mike Nichols & Elaine May explaining why we should file our taxes (recently found in a garage in Inglewood, California) and much, much more.
