Ich mag immer nich´ diese elendig langen englischen Texte übersetzen, deshalb als Zitat:
Prelinger Archives was founded in 1983 by Rick Prelinger in New York City. Over the next twenty years, it grew into a collection of over 60,000 „ephemeral“ (advertising, educational, industrial, and amateur) films. In 2002, the film collection was acquired by the Library of Congress, Motion Picture, Broadcasting and Recorded Sound Division. Prelinger Archives remains in existence, holding approximately 4,000 titles on videotape and a smaller collection of film materials acquired subsequent to the Library of Congress transaction. Its goal remains to collect, preserve, and facilitate access to films of historic significance that haven’t been collected elsewhere. Included are films produced by and for many hundreds of important US corporations, nonprofit organizations, trade associations, community and interest groups, and educational institutions. Getty Images represents the collection for stock footage sale, and over 2,000 key titles (soon to be 2,500) are available here. As a whole, the collection currently contains over 10% of the total production of ephemeral films between 1927 and 1987, and it may be the most complete and varied collection in existence of films from these poorly preserved genres.
Ich gehe also davon aus, dass es sich bei den hier unzähligen Filmchen um CC-Lizenzen handelt. Wegen archive.org und so.
Ich mag diesen alten Shice wirklich sehr gerne. Weil das alles so ist, wie jene, die damals in dieser Zeit alt waren, das genauso genauso haben wollten, wenn ihr versteht. Die mochten diesen Shice damals wirklich. Sehr gerne.
Die wollten sowas. Die wollten so leben. Die haben das alles geglaubt. Damals in den Fünfzigern, glaube ich.
