ForgottenFilm

People use to say that the internet never forgets. I hope this is true.

Here is some old 8mm footage and I hope it will stay here forever so that nobody will ever forget these people.

It always makes me sad to see that private 8mm footage are sold at a garage sale or on Ebay. Mabe the filmmaker didn't survive - okay I understand. What about the children you can find on many of these films? Why do they have no interest in moving pictures of their own lives? Many years ago the filmmaker paid a lot of money for these movies and wanted to preserve something. But the relatives or friends threw away his work. What a pity!

Now these filmmakers and their forgotten movies will get a home in the Internet - forever.
