In its continued quest to ramp up film preservation efforts, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced Wednesday it will launch the first-ever Film-to-Film Festival, featuring films the Academy has preserved, running Sept. 27 through Sept. 29.
The festival will take place in the Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills and the Linwood Dunn Theater in Hollywood, according to a press release. It stems from a highly-touted Academy initiative launched a year ago called Project Film-to-Film with the goal of preserving as many movies on film as possible over a two-year span by mainly using film stock to create new prints.
