Professor Justin Smith talks about the work of Film is Fabulous! An initiative to preserve vulnerable film treasures for future generations
Film is Fabulous! is a charitable trust run by film collectors, cinema lovers and vintage television enthusiasts. It has a primary objective, to advance, educate, and encourage public interest in film as a medium, and its role within British culture. By working closely with film collectors and their families, the Film is Fabulous! team have been granted access to numerous collections. Many of these belong to former industry professionals, and contain unique film and television items. These efforts have led to several missing episodes of vintage television, and a lost silent feature film, being recovered.
