Watching a room of archivally-obsessed filmmakers with the National Film and Sound Archive’s personable leader is like watching alley cats with catnip. With the right sensitive instruments, it would be possible to record the purring, and preserve it for future generations.
Michael Loebenstein, the new(ish) head of the National Film and Sound Archive is both a terrific public face of the organisation, and a film scholar who turns his passion into a kind of academic poetry.
