Each year in To Save and Project, a key member of the international film archive community is invited to participate in Conservator's Choice by highlighting preservation work from his or her home institution. This year, we recognize Mark Toscano, Film Preservationist, Academy Film Archive, whose attention to the work of experimental and avant-garde filmmakers—often a conservator's nightmare with respect to locating viable original materials—demonstrates his professional excellence. This program features experimental films made in Los Angeles from the mid-1940s through the 1970s.
