Mark,
I'd be very interested to hear about the preservation of JJ Murphy's
PRINT GENERATION. In addition to knowing JJ and admiring this film
especially, I'm curious about the challenges to restoration and
preservation posed by a work based on purposeful image and sound
degradation. I remember several years ago hearing Mike Pogorzelski
talking about digital restoration on a Hollywood film (can't recall
the title) - at one point a computer was allowed to work on the film
overnight to digitally remove scratches, and the next morning it was
discovered that it had mistaken raindrops for scratches, rendering a
rainy night scene utterly rainless. I imagine a hilarious restored
version of PRINT GENERATION in which all the generational image
degradation has been "cleaned up" digitally, leaving each series of
shots exactly the same.
But I digress...my vote is for P.G.
Best,
Jonathan
