The latest from Boston based director Peter Flynn (The Dying of the Light), FILM IS DEAD. LONG LIVE FILM! explores the vanishing world of private film collecting—an obsessive, secretive, often illicit world of basement film vaults, piled-high with forgotten reels, inhabited by passionate cinephiles devoted to the rescue and preservation of photochemical film. The result is a lively and loving tribute to the private film collector, a celebration of the fetishistic subculture of pre-video movie-love, and a timely reminder of the glories of analog film.
“Spectacular… a massive treat for cinephiles. A wave of nostalgia and wonder is felt in every scene.” – Film Threat
Funny and observant… immensely entertaining!” – The Independent
