Just a bit of promotion for what the National Film Archives does.  Smile

Thanks, Captain TT: karma for you.

I normally don't like being referred to by my surname but as this was in a newspaper article (and therefore promotion for my place of work) I didn't mind. Smile

The people of South Africa are lucky to have you looking out for the country's film history. It's a shame this studio, or at least a part, couldn't have been preserved. At least you've got that b***hin' plaque!

Have you seen Peter Jackson's mockumentary FORGOTTEN SILVER? It supposedly chronicles the rediscovery of the works of an early innovative but forgotten New Zealand film maker. His accomplishments included inventing color and sound techniques years before they were officially introduced. The problem was his color film contained lots of nudity so it was immediately banned and his sound film was in Chinese so nobody in New Zealand could understand it!  Smile

Congratulations and keep up the good work.  Thumbup

Good job Trevor!

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
