Lottery fundings? For ARCHIVE FILMS

[Kiki]

Just watched the national news, did anyone see? its mention of the south west film archives that arent being preserved properly through lack of funding,surely these deserve saving by our lottery funding? What about this area,s films .Are they protected ?

Not seen anything about it kiki.

AFAIK yes we did turn up some films in this area recently & they were preserved with lottery funding.

I think they were in/of the Blackburn area.

Matty's right about the Blackburn films,the films need to be saved as they are a good sauce of socail history,the film used in the olden days is highly flamable and needs re-recording before it's lost forever! lottery money should be used to preserve these films instead of going to crappy and useless things!

There is a northwest film archive site somewhere, they do all the archiving etc.
