"Film Is Dead. Long Live Film!" Gets World Television Premiere on Turner Classic Movies: Nov. 1
EntSun News/11041422
"Spectacular… (Film is Dead. Long Live Film!) is a massive treat for cinephiles. A wave of nostalgia and wonder is felt in every scene." -- Film Threat
POMPTON PLAINS, N.J. - EntSun -- Turner Classic Movies (TCM), the network known for championing film preservation, unveils the world television premiere of an insightful new documentary on the subject: Film is Dead. Long Live Film! on November 17, 2024 at 10:00 p.m. est. This BayView Entertainment release, directed by Peter Flynn, has enjoyed a healthy theatrical run throughout 2024, as well as award-winning festival plays and event screenings.
Peter Flynn's film explored the vanishing world of private film collecting—an obsessive world of basement vaults piled-high with forgotten reels, and the passionate cinephiles devoted to film's rescue and preservation. Condemned as pirates and hounded by authorities, film collectors long lurked in the shadows. Yet their efforts resulted in the survival of countless misplaced, abandoned, often decaying films that would otherwise be lost. Archives and studios now look to collectors for missing titles, and the basement-dwellers and bootleggers of old are finally getting the recognition they deserve.

"I've always been fascinated by people and practices marginalized or omitted from official film history," says Flynn. "Without collectors unearthing discarded treasures, much of film history would be lost. Now, time is running out. Film is decaying fast, collectors are aging, and there's a real urgency to pass this on." Film is Dead. Long Live Film! profiles a range of collectors and preservationists to give a well-rounded look at the many pleasures, perils, and pitfalls of obsessive movie-love.
"As cinephiles ourselves, we are thrilled to have Peter Flynn's vital film join our roster, which includes many classics we hope to see preserved for years to come," stated Peter Castro of BayView Entertainment. "It does an extraordinary job of shining the spotlight on film collecting as preservation."
