Mario Peixoto's 'Limite' Makes Its Way to Brooklyn

The article talks about how all of the films, although old, have a lot of social awareness in them. Director Martin Scorsese founded the nonprofit organization in 2007. In its mission statement, the foundation describes itself as “dedicated to preserving and restoring neglected films from around the world,” and in one way or another, each of the 12 films in the BAMcinématek program falls into that category. I think it is great for movies to get this exposure, while shown at a Brooklyn film festival where people can finally experience it.
Film of Paul Bowles Short Story Rediscovered

When I came across reading this article i was simply amazed. Ms. Driver spent the past years thinking her critically acclaimed would never be seen by the public again, until one day when it was found by accident by a research from University of Delaware. This really makes me think how quickly things can change. Now thanks to some good luck her film is back on tack to being viewed by the public. It really gives hope to what other lost works of art are sitting in someones study completely forgotten.
