Abstract
Much of what a man is pertains to his imagination. Indeed, imaginary are his hopes, his intentions,
his ideas of himself. People dream of their lives and live on their dreams. The dividing line between
living and dreaming is not always clear. Films are collective dream of society. They provide society
with mythologies or patterns of behaviour. However, the mass appeal of the movies is a clear indication
that most people today respond in one way or another to the dream like fantasies projected on the
screen. It is necessary to grasp the significance of the preservation of movies in the life of the
people. Preservation of cinema is no doubt the issue that haunts cinema preservationist, archivist
librarians at the moment.
