In 2000, 18 of America's premier film archives joined forces with the NFPF to release films preserved in their collections for the first time on video. The resulting Treasures from American Film Archives, 50 Preserved Films showcases the breadth of American filmmaking during the first 100 years of the motion picture. With rarities ranging from the first movie exhibited in the United States to a 1985 experimental documentary of New York's Battery Park, the 11-hour four-DVD box set received critical accolades and was covered on The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer.
