Film Foundation: Films Restored By The

Perhaps the Foundation’s most significant evolution is the World Cinema Project , which expanded its scope beyond Hollywood to the neglected masterpieces of Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe. This initiative has brought international attention to "lost" classics that were previously unavailable or in severe disrepair. Notable restorations through this project include: Aranyer Din Ratri (Days and Nights in the Forest, 1970)

From the endless dunes of Lawrence of Arabia to the slums of Pather Panchali , these restorations prove that cinema is not just a business or a distraction. It is the most complete record of the 20th century. And thanks to Scorsese and his team, that record remains open for us all to read. films restored by the film foundation
