Why preserve film in a world where audiovisual materials seem so readily available online? That is the key question posed in this documentary which features interviews with film archivists, curators, technicians, and filmmakers including Jonas Mekas, Patricio Guzmán, Ken Loach, Bill Morrison, Fernando Trueba, and appearances by Martin Scorsese, Ridley Scott, and Ousmane Sembene.
