Our future rests on our past. What excited me about the future of film is the dedicated recovery, preservation and research taking place now, to ensure that the film heritage is not lost to future generations. The DVD revolution is securing the library bit by bit (if you will excuse the pun) and proves there is a continuing audience.
The fact that we can submit our penni'worth on a BFI forum has to be an advance, how else will future generations know the thoughts of today's film spectator (wouldn't you just love to read a thread from, say - 1910)?
