It likely that without the efforts of film preservationists, archivists, scholars and collectors, there wouldn't be a San Francisco Silent Film Festival as we know it - or at least the Festival would not have had the history of showing many of the films that it has over the years.
That's true for Metropolis, the 1927 Fritz Lang directed film which was recently restored in Germany and which will be shown this July as part of the SFSFF's annual Summer event.

Today is the final day of the "For the Love of Film: The Film Preservation Blogathon." It's an effort by film bloggers from all around the world to call attention to the need for continuing film preservation - as well as to raise funds to benefit the National Film Preservation Foundation. Though today is the last day of the blogathon, it's not too late to act.
For more information, visit Ferdy on Films and Self-Styled Siren, two bloggers who are the hosts of the blogathon. (There is also a page on Facebook with additional details.) If you would like to make a donation to this most worthy cause, follow this link. The following video is a kind of commercial for the cause.
If you read this blog, chances are you love film - especially silent film. Here's one way to show your affection, and to get involved.
