Are communism-era films worth preserving?

World Update

Available for over a year

There's an attempt now in Albania to ban communism-era films from television. The state funded Institute for Communist Crimes argues that the ban would reduce nostalgia for the old regime. Thomas Logoreci is an Albanian-American filmmaker who lives in Tirana. He also is one of the founders of the Albanian Cinema Project, created to protect the endangered Albanian film archive. He told Dan Damon why he is against the ban. (Image: Poster from the movie The Bride and the Curfew (1979) Courtesy: The National Gallery of Arts, Tirana)
