Bruce Posner

Bruce Posner travaille en tant que conservateur et programmateur, c'est un archiviste spécialisé dans la préservation et la restauration de films. Ses projets de conservateur ont été qualifiés de "provocateur, pertinent et important envers l'histoire des images animées", récoltant les prix du National Society of Film Critics (deux fois), de la Los Angeles Film Critics Association, et de la Boston Society of Film Critics. En 2004, il a été nommé Lifetime Arts Fellow par le New Hampshire State Council for the Arts.

“I can not imagine that Bruce Posner would need any further introduction than his own many great works have achieved in the film world, i.e. that anyone involved seriously with film would have him in somewhat of a heroic posture in their mind. Museums, archives, and audiences worldwide have benefited immeasurably from Posner’s sustained 27 years-long [c. 2002] effort to locate, preserve, and present the hidden and undiscovered film. I don’t know of anyone who has done more to reveal to us the overlooked and the underrated cinema which once seen by and through his and other people’s auspices certainly comes to take its preeminent place in film history.” Stan Brakhage, filmmaker
