Soft cover photo book on the Royal Belgian Film Archive (CINEMATEK) with pictures by Xavier Harcq, Jimmy Kets and Marie-Françoise Plissart. Essays by David Bordwell (in English), Eric De Kuyper (in Dutch) and Dominique Païni (in French).
What lies behind the screen of a film archive? Very few had the chance to discover. 75000 FILMS is a very personal voyage into this unknown territory, guided by the photos of Xavier Harcq, Jimmy Kets and Marie-Françoise Plissart and the texts of David Bordwell, Eric de Kuyper and Dominique Païni. Six different points of view into a film archive: the activities, the role, the spaces, the people, the gestures of those who make sure that films - "the stuff dreams are made of" - will live forever.
200 page soft cover book with 80 color photographies.
