“Martin Scorsese’s The Film Foundation said that basically half of all American films made before 1950 are lost, & none of the major distributors are looking for them. Even worse, they said that more than 90% of films made before 1929 are lost forever.”

👇Pals, please watch what’s happening with streamers. If you love movies/work in movies/make movies, think about how you fell in love with them, and how new generations will, and consider supporting Vidiots/your local video stores. The (dwindling) access you have now is at risk.

. @A24 auctioning some of the weirdest, most wonderful movie merch ever made (featured in their new book “For Promitional Use Only”) to benefit Vidiots, so that future generations can have affordable, algorithm-free access to film and media…
