Silent Treasures from New Zealand

Great article from NYTimes.com on a recently-released anthology from the National Film Preservation Foundation.

One of the features includes John Ford's Upstream, which I went to L.A. to see 2 years ago. I mentioned going here on my blog, but never got a chance to write about it (I know, I know) but the article does a really nice job of summarizing how the films came to the attention of the NFPF.

What's great is the collection includes many of the films "found" in New Zealand (read the article! Go! Read!) making this a great addition to a collection. I know it will be in mine - it will be on my Christmas list to the fiance (we upgraded!).
