Old San Francisco, just before the 1906 earthquake: See vintage film footage from weeks before the disaster

The George Eastman Museum Motion Picture Collection is one of the major moving image archives in the United States. It was established in 1949 by the first curator of film, James Card (1915–2000) who helped to build the George Eastman Museum as a leading force in the field with holdings of over 25,000 titles and a collection of stills, posters and papers with over 3 million artifacts. The George Eastman Museum's collection includes the complete moving-image works of William Kentridge. Three fake electors also have been charged in Georgia alongside Trump and others in a sweeping indictment accusing them of participating in a wide-ranging scheme to illegally overturn the results.

“Peeping Tom” (Criterion Collection)

In this digital-dominated era, the allure of physical media like DVDs and Blu-rays remains robust, transcending mere nostalgia. These formats offer a tangible, personal connection to the artistry of film and television—a curated collection that one can physically handle, showcase, and possess.

Martin Scorsese’s films have really only begun to trickle out onto 4K, but the arrival of the film for which he finally won a Best Director Oscar is a welcome addition to that slim collection. In her striking directorial debut, Karyn Kusama presents the invigorating story of Diana Guzman, dynamically portrayed by Michelle Rodriguez, set in Brooklyn.

Every four years, presidential electors in every state meet on the same day in December to submit electoral ballots to federal authorities so Congress can finalize the results. On that day in 2020, Republicans in seven states signed ballots for Trump even though Joe Biden had won in their states. In five of the states, they claimed to be legitimate electors even though they were not. In the other two, they signed paperwork saying their states’ electoral votes for Trump should be counted only if Biden’s victory was overturned. Republicans in four states are facing charges after submitting documents to Congress falsely claiming that Donald Trump won the 2020 presidential election in their states. The house itself was completed in 1905 with an assortment of modern marvels, including a central air conditioning and vacuuming system, internal telephone wiring with 21 stations and a huge pipe organ located in the middle of the central room.

Written by Paul Schrader, John Flynn’s “Rolling Thunder” is a bloody, magnificent tale about a PTSD-afflicted Vietnam veteran (the beautifully taciturn William Devane) who enlists a fellow serviceman (Tommy Lee Jones) to exact revenge on the men who kill his wife and son. Shout Factory complements a new 4K transfer with two audio commentaries and two newly-created featurettes in addition to the film’s legacy content. If you need further incentive to check it out, Quentin Tarantino is reportedly recreating the film’s climatic shootout for his upcoming film about a 1970s film critic. One of the most famous — and controversial — Westerns ever made, Fred Zinneman’s “High Noon” feels especially ripe for rediscovery in today’s heightened political climate. Kino Lorber’s special edition offers a brand-new HD master from a 4K scan of the original camera negative, two new audio commentaries, and a dense collection of featurettes contextualizing everything from its production to its legacy.

Among other things, he participated in a January 2021 phone call between Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger during which the then-president urged the elections official to help “find” the votes needed to overturn his narrow loss in the state. He’s a lawyer who has been by Trump’s side for some of the former president’s own court appearances, including Thursday and Friday in New York. The former president faces state charges in Georgia and federal charges in Washington over efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss and has been identified as an unindicted co-conspirator by investigators in Arizona and Michigan.

Proper exploitation filmmakers Gualtiero Jacopetti and Franco Prosperi decided in 1971 to draw upon true events to recreate the landscape of antebellum America and depict the conditions that Africans faced under slavery.

In an era when Eisenhower led the nation and Rock ‘n’ Roll dominated the cultural landscape, “Cry Baby” features Johnny Depp as the quintessential bad boy, Wade “Cry-Baby” Walker. Depp’s charismatic rebel character captures the hearts of many with his singular talent for shedding just one tear—a trait that particularly enthralls the girls at his high school. The deluxe 4K UHD and Blu-ray edition brings this vibrant spectacle to the highest visual quality, including the original theatrical cut, now in a brand-new HDR/Dolby Vision master, along with 4K from the original 35mm camera negatives. John Waters’ vision in two distinct versions allows for a deeper appreciation of this cult classic’s artistry and thematic depth.

He was charged in Georgia with racketeering and criminal attempt to commit false statements and writings after he presented colleagues with a draft letter pushing Georgia officials to convene a special legislative session on the election results.

An Independent Spirit Award nominee for Best Feature, Sayles’ film is woefully overdue for rediscovery.

That same year, the Eastman House launched the first school of film preservation in the United States to teach restoration, preservation, and archiving of motion pictures. The L.

But by July 19, 1984, the museum had a $500,000 deficit,[11][12] and the museum's holdings were considered by many to be among the world's finest, but with the collections growing at a rapid pace, the museum was increasingly burdened by its own success.
