Description
What do the films Casablanca, Blazing Saddles, and West Side Story have in common? Besides being popular, they have also been deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the Library of Congress and listed in The National Film Registry. “THESE AMAZING SHADOWS” tells the history and importance of The Registry, a roll call of American cinema treasures that reflects the diversity of film, and the American experience itself. The current list of 550 films includes selections from every genre — documentaries, home movies, Hollywood classics, avant-garde, newsreels, and silent films. American movies tell us so much about ourselves - not just what we did, but what we thought, what we felt, what we imagined, what we aspired to and the lies we told ourselves.
On FEBRUARY 25TH in the GAINES THEATER at 6:30PM the Film Club of CNU will present a FREE SCREENING of “THESE AMAZING SHADOWS”, a documentary rich with imagery, interweaving clips from America's most-beloved films (and many rarer treasures) with moving personal tales of how specific films have reflected our culture and changed lives. The film includes interviews with the Librarian of Congress, famous directors, producers, archivists, admired actors, and members of the National Film Preservation Board.
PAUL MARIANO & KURT NORTON, DIRECTOR/PRODUCER, WILL BE IN ATTENDANCE.
