Lost Home Movies Part 17
( can you help me figure out where this family isl located and the date)
As I mentioned before I was lucky to get the support of noted film archivist Rick Prelinger to acquire my entire collection of home movies I have uncovered over the last fifty years to restore and transfer in 2k & 4k imagery.
As I've been going through the films he has restored so far , I'm seeing them for the first time, like your doing now, only I'm adding some music scores to make them a little more enjoyable..
Notes: Rick Prelinger is an archivist, filmmaker, writer and educator. He began collecting "ephemeral films" (films made for specific purposes at specific times, such as advertising, educational and industrial films; more recently called "useful cinema") in 1983.
His collection of 60,000 films was acquired by Library of Congress in 2002, and since that time Prelinger Archives has again grown to include some 30,000 home movies and 7,000 other film items.
Beginning in 2000, he partnered with Internet Archive to make a subset of the Prelinger Collection (now over 9,000 films) available online for free viewing, downloading and reuse.
His archival feature Panorama Ephemera (2004) played in venues around the world, and his feature project No More Road Trips? received a Creative Capital grant in 2012.
His 30 Lost Landscapes participatory urban history projects have played to many thousands of viewers in San Francisco, Detroit, Oakland, Los Angeles, New York and elsewhere.
He is a board member of Internet Archive and frequently writes and speaks on the future of archives. With Megan Prelinger, he co-founded Prelinger Library in 2004. He is currently Emerit Professor of Film & Digital Media at University of California, Santa Cruz.
Rick and Megan currently co-direct Prelinger Archives, which is currently in the midst of a project to mass-digitize archival film, funded by Filecoin Foundation for the Decentralized Web.
Since early 2023, the project has so far scanned some 4,000 films and will continue doing so until at least August 2025. Newly digitized films are available at Internet Archive and KZfaq.
