About the event:
Funded by the Myra Reinhard Family Foundation, the Present Preserving the Past: Student Film Initiative’s inaugural group of graduate student interns worked closely over a 10-week period under the supervision of Archive staff to inspect, prepare, digitally restore and preserve three UCLA student films from the 1970s-1980s. Ranging from documentary to animation to narrative production, the selected films feature histories of political activism, Chinese American influence, and the L.A. Rebellion.
