Saving the Unsavable

Field notes

The project organizes its research as six parts and fifteen chapters, moving from vinegar syndrome and nitrate decomposition to archives, orphan rights, 4K scanning, and restoration economics. Its fourth section follows cult and exploitation cinema from touring roadshows and grindhouses through censorship and later prestige restorations. The homepage reports research involving more than 48 labels, archives, and people, while the project remains open to contributed leads, stories, and contacts.
