What: The Film Foundation has announced the next selection of films to be presented online in The Film Foundation Restoration Screening Room. The platform offers the opportunity to watch classic films free of charge, accompanied by special features that explain the importance of each title. The films, restored by the foundation and its partners, have been selected personally by Martin Scorsese and film scholar Kent Jones, and represent a diverse group of titles from around the world.

The foundation is partnering with Oracle and DelphiQuest to power the Restoration Screening Room, which programs beautifully restored films that, in many cases, are rarely seen anywhere. Each title will be presented with live commentary on the second Monday of the month at 7 pm EST. The films will also be available on-demand for 72 hours, starting at 7 pm local time the Saturday prior.

Accompanying each title are introductions and interviews with filmmakers, archivists, and scholars. The platform also highlights the foundation’s archive, studio, and funding partners who ensure that these treasures are saved and protected for future generations.
