THE SHOW MUST SURVIVE!
A Love Letter to Sag Harbor Cinema and the Glorious Business of Saving the Movies
Some theatres have ghosts. Sag Harbor Cinema has an entire second act. And rather wonderfully, it now spends a long weekend each autumn rescuing other people's ghosts.
I lived briefly in Southampton in the early 1990s and happened to be on the East End the morning Sag Harbor Cinema burned in December 2016.
What a splendid plot twist that this beloved cinema, rescued from destruction, now celebrates the rescue of cinema itself!
This weekend, I'll be attending the Martin Scorsese Presents: Sag Harbor Cinema Festival of Preservation, a glorious gathering of restored masterpieces, forgotten pioneers, film historians, and the extraordinary people who keep our cinematic heritage alive.
As an artist, playwright & film enthusiasm, I can't imagine a more compelling celebration.
After all, the past has already given its performance.
The least we can do is make certain there is an encore.

THE SHOW MUST SURVIVE II: THE FILM FOUNDATION – SAVING CINEMA FROM ITS FINAL CURTAIN
In 1990, Martin Scorsese joined fellow filmmakers including Steven Spielberg, Francis Ford Coppola, Stanley Kubrick, George Lucas, and Robert Redford to establish The Film Foundation. Their alarm was justified:
the movies that had helped define the twentieth century were themselves disappearing. Nitrate stock could burn, acetate could decay, colour could fade, and original sound elements could vanish. Stardom, it transpired, offered no immunity from deterioration.
