Great Lovers of the Silver Screen
Are You A “Great Lover”?
Welcome to the official website of Great Lovers of the Silver Screen, a documentary celebrating the unsung heroes of guerilla film collecting, preservation and restoration. From the underground film vaults of the Library of Congress to the private screening rooms of Hollywood insiders, this film reveals everyday people whose personal crusade is to save and share “lost” films and forgotten masterpieces.
Whether your idea of a masterpiece is a cheezy 50’s tv show or a classic of European cinema, the stories of the people behind the restorations are often as entertaining and heartwarming as the subject matter.
Crazy, informative and sometimes ironic, their stories are about hopes and dreams as only old hollywood can conjure.
Filmmakers Antonia G. Carey and Nick J. Palazzo are TONICK Productions. For more information, check out www.tonickproductions.com
