In the documentary, "Henri Langlois: Phantom of the Cinematheque" which I've seen before, he said something that caused me to pause and think. It was in reference to one not knowing the value of a film. He was talking about collecting films and early on he had dismissed some that later turned out to be of great value and he had let it pass, it became a lost film and never had forgiven himself. So he said take it all, keep it all, throw nothing away, cause you never know how it will be viewed in the future.
This made me think about the recent discovery of longer cut of a Hammer Film found in Japan. There are more and more films disappearing everyday. This also made me think about memories and history in general. This is a wonderful documentary.
