To Daniel - It is ironic to me how, for decades, the film industry willfully destroyed all the elements of a film which did not make it into the final print (and often the prints and negatives themselves.) Now there seems to be a fetish to discover every trace of the process which went into a final film. "restored" versions, "directors cuts", "alternate takes", etc. While I would be the first to champion, for archival purposes, the retention of as much as the filmmaking process as would be feasible, it is disturbing to note the hunger for these production elements which are, largely, the cast-offs of the process. Perhaps, its a result of the craze for interactive contact with the great film-makers. But I believe these film-makers would be largely horrified at this tampering with their work. Alternate dialogue sequences, for marginal movies at best? Let's get real! Shouldn't we be spending our time, energy and resources in making sure that the films themselves and not their trail of detritus is preserved first. As I write this post, complete films are being lost! Gene Stavis, School of Visual Arts - NYC
