These Amazing Shadows

Streaming video - 2014

An Official Selection at the **Sundance Film Festival**, THESE AMAZING SHADOWS tells the history and importance of the Registry, a roll call of American cinema treasures that reflects the diversity of film, and indeed the American experience itself. What do the films *Casablanca*, *Blazing Saddles* and *West Side Story* have in common? Besides being popular, they have also been deemed "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant" by the Library of Congress and listed on The National Film Registry. The current list of 550 films includes selections from every genre - documentaries, home movies, Hollywood classics, avant-garde, newsreels and silent films. This 88-minute documentary reveals how "American movies tell us ...so much about ourselves... not just what we did, but what we thought, what we felt, what we aspired to, and the lies we told ourselves." "*Inspiring... elegantly assembled.*" - David Rooney, ***The Hollywood Reporter*** "*Film-montages to end all film-montages.*" - John Lopez, ***Vanity Fair***
