Preserving the Legacy - Film Preservation and Digitization

Support your favorite Fischinger film!

You can help with the preservation and digitization of Oskar Fischinger's films.
Many of the films (and experiments and tests) still need to be preserved.
Some have been preserved, and need to be transfered to HD.
We're working on the second Fischinger DVD, but we still need funding for this work...
