Recently retired from a 31-year career in film preservation, including a decade as head of preservation at the UCLA Film and Television Archive, Scott MacQueen has brought his fine eye and technical knowledge to the restoration of nearly 300 features, ranging from studio spectaculars to Poverty Row sleepers. In this talk, he’ll lead the audience through two particularly challenging recent projects, both of which are featured in this year’s TSAP: All That Money Can Buy, a black-and-white studio film from 1941, and Invaders from Mars, a low-budget science-fiction indie, filmed in the obsolete Supercinecolor process.
