Please take a moment to nominate the 3-D Film Archive restorations of these historically significant films for the National Film Registry. We have digital masters and want to output the files to 35mm polyester film stock for long-term preservation.
NEW DIMENSIONS - The first domestic full-color polarized 3-D film, it opened in May 1940 at the New York World's Fair. By time the Fair closed in October of that year, this landmark 3-D film had been seen by an estimated 4.5 million people. It has been restored from the original and rapidly deteriorating 35mm left/right dye-transfer Technicolor elements.
DOOM TOWN - The first (and only) Golden Age 3-D documentary. This historic film documenting the March 1953 atom bomb tests in Yucca Flats, Nevada was seen in just a few theaters and then withdrawn from release possibly for it's strong anti-nuclear message. It has been saved and restored from the original 35mm left/right negatives.

The more requests for these additions to the Registry, the better chance we'll have. Thank you very much!
