Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive says…

Forget BlueRay discs and plasma TVs. For true cinephiles, nothing lets a movie really sing like a pristine celluloid print. In which case, Secrets Beyond the Door, the PFA's series of newly restored prints from UCLA's Festival of Preservation, is a veritable opera. From films by acknowledged masters such as John Cassavetes, Fritz Lang, and John Sayles, to the first Sri Lankan independent film and early silent gems, this series covers a wide swathe of cinematic history and makes a compelling case for ensuring the medium's history by preserving its past.
