VOICED: A treasure trove of old movies at the French Film Archives

The video discusses the role of Patrick in maintaining the French film archives, focusing on the challenges of preserving films, especially those on nitrocellulose, due to their flammability. The archives, located in a converted military bunker, house 400 tons of nitrocellulose reels and other film types, totaling 100,000 works. Notable discoveries include the original negative of 'The Grand Illusion.' The archives also serve as a research hub and screen 2,000 films annually in cinemas and festivals.
