A longtime enthusiast and preservationist of classic cinema is stepping down from his post.
Scott MacQueen, head of preservation for the UCLA Film & Television Archive, is retiring Tuesday. Since joining the Archive in 2012, MacQueen led a staff of preservation technicians who helped restore and preserve classic films in danger of decay. MacQueen said working for the archive gave him the opportunity to repair and protect some of his favorite films and others that were largely unknown.
“I knew (the films) were in trouble,” MacQueen said. “And it was up to me to push them forward.”
