>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." i'm robert costa in new york. thanks for staying with us. hollywood honored the brightest stars and finest movies of 2022 at last night's academy awards in los angeles. some of the winners and even some of the nominees could one day be seen as classics, viewed for years on streaming or rereleased in theaters. but there are thousans of older films that have been lost forever and there is a movement in the movie business to preserve the ones that remain. ben tracy reports. ♪

♪ baby ♪ martin scorsese's meticulous and unsparing approach to film mainging. >> if we wanted something, we just took it. > reporter: has made him one of the most acclaimed directors of all time. >> you can see the difference clearly here. >> reporter: and in his new york screening room it was quite clear that he's not just passionate about moviemaking but also movie care-taking. >> here you see, now it suddenly comes to life. >> it's like having a cataract removed or something. >> exactly. which i've had done. >> reporter: it's a restored version of 1955's "east of eden" starring james dean. >> the actors come to life when their faces can be really perceived properly. >> if you look like james dean, you want to see your face. >> reporter: this is just one of the more than 950 films restored with the support of the film foundation, which has been essential to preserving cinematic history. it partners with studios and
3:42 am
archives to ensure that everything from classic foreign films to marilyn monroe's final performance once again look like they did when they were first shot. the foundation was started by scorsese in 1990 with a little help from his friends. >> spielberg, francis coppola. we got stanley kubrick. but the key figure was george lucas. >> reporter: like the plot of many a tinseltown thriller, scorsese and his fellow directors realized the threat to the film industry was coming from inside the house. it was film itself. the earliest stock, nitrate film, was highly flammable and could decompose with age. that's a big reason why up to 75% of all silent films have been lost. its successor, acetate film, was safer but had its own issues. and like many a career in hollywood it lacked staying power. >> by the early '70s it was
3:43 am
decreed that every film had to be made in color. and just at that point at which color became so important the negative stock became weaker and within six years whatever prints we could find were fading. and it just seemed crazy. to have to do everything in color and now the color doesn't last. not only it doesn't last up to 20 years. six years? oh, come on. >> reporter: scorsese's fear of fading color was partly why he shot his now classic 1980 film "raging bull" in black and white. >> a left and a right to the head. a hard one. robinson is driven out of the ring. >> reporter: that same year he fired off an urgent letter to filmmakers saying "everything we're doing right now means absolutely nothing." >> it was an angry letter. it was kind of i guess overly enthusiastic. but i wanted to get their attention. >> you were basically putting folks on notice we've got a problem. >> yeah, we've got a real problem here and what we should do is force them to deal with
3:44 am
this. >> reporter: scorsese led a campaign to convince eastman kodak to develop a more stable film stock. and then focused on the studios. worried hollywood's history was vanishing. >> the most important thing was being overlooked, and those were the films in their vaults. >> saving them wasn't necessarily the biggest priority. >> reporter: andrea callas oversees the archive at paramount pictures, our sister company. in the early '80s scorsese presented the major studios with detailed lists of the films they should preserve. >> his encyclopedic knowledge of film is literally unparalleled. >> have you seen the paramount list? >> i have, yeah. it's amazing that he was able to do that, right? to just sit down with the incredible output of every studio and just go yep, no, yep, no, yep, no. it's an important list and it's one that's shared with us so it helps guide our preservation program, among other things. >> reporter: callas was brought
3:45 am
on to expand paramount's preservation effort. they've now restored more than 1,500 films, stored at 28 degrees in this state-of-the-art vault. these films are the source material for each new technology that's come along, from dvds to 4k streaming. >> that's nice. you're seeing a lot more detail in that. >> reporter: even movies you might not consider that old such as 1986's "ferris bueller's day off" already need some work. ♪ i recall central park in fall ♪ paramount recently partnered with the film foundation to restore some of the films from its library. callas says the foundation has been essential in making sure hollywood preserves its film past. >> we also had before and afters in restorations, you know, it looked like crap, now it looks great. same thing with film preservation. before the foundation and after is really dramatic. >> it's been that impactful. >> it's that impactful.
3:46 am
absolutely. >> footloose. >> mm-hmm. >> "saving private ryan." >> reporter: the film foundation also works with institutions like the film archive at the academy of motion pictures arts and sciences, the folks that hand out the oscars. >> the academy wanted to put it skin into the game to be a part of that movement to start taking care of films in need of restoration. >> reporter: mike pogruzelski is director of the archive. >> the images just literally melted away. >> reporter: he says film preservation is not just about caring for oscar winners but lesser known films too. including the 1943 film "the life and death of colonel blimp." a technicolor marvel and scorsese favorite. >> you are livingston, i presume. >> reporter: restoring it was a labor of love. >> extremely complicated because of the fact that there was actually mold spores growing on the film itself.
3:47 am
an absolutely monumental task that no archive could have taken on by itself without the film foundation's support. >> reporter: one of the academy ark yieflz' longest-running projects was a digital restoration with the criterion collection of acclaimed indian filmmaker satyajit ray's apew trilogy. its negatives were severely damaged in a nitrate fire. >> preservation effort moved from taking care of these deteriorating originals to suddenly scouring the world looking for any surviving film elements so they could be pieced together almost in a jigsaw puzzle. in a lot of ways the apew trilogy looks better in the 2000s than it did in the 1950s when the films were brand new. >> what is it like when you sit in a screening room and you see one of these fully restored? >> it is an amazing experience. being able to carry movies like this into the future is one of
3:48 am
the greatest and most meaningful parts of what we do here. >> reporter: this is an italian poster of the first movie i can remember seeing by title. >> reporter: and martin scorsese, who has been called the patron saint of film preservation, is likely to be remembered not only for the films he's made but also for the many he's helped save. >> how important is this part of your legacy to you? >> i've always thought it was more important. i guess i was more of a teacher than a filmmaker. i particularly enjoy younger people seeing these films. and whether their reaction is i reject it completely, i hate it, or they become inspired and make some beautiful works of art that enrich the lives of the whole world. this is what we're here for, to enrich each other's lives up there art. >> that was ben t wondering what actually goes into your multivitamin? at new chapter, its' innovation, organic ingredients, and fermentation. fermentation? yes. formulated to help you body really truly absorb the natural goodness.
