75000 films

What lies behind the screen of a film archive? Very few had the chance to discover. This book is a very personal voyage into this unknown territory, guided by the photos of Xavier Harcq, Jimmy Kets and Marie-Françoise Plissart and the texts of David Bordwell, Eric de Kuyper and Dominique Païni. Six different points of view into a film archive: the activities, the role, the spaces, the people, the gestures of those who make sure that films – “the stuff dreams are made of” – will live forever.
