Perhaps the most recognizable and influential cheerleader for film preservation and proper projection in the world today is Academy Award-winning director Martin Scorsese. In 2007, he began his World Cinema Project, a group that spends time scouring the planet for films in dire need of rescue and restoration. This new Criterion box set Martin Scorsese’s World Cinema Project presents the results of six of his organization’s restoration projects, films little seen from around the world and selected for their international reputations and appeal representing the diverse cultural heritages from Senegal to Bengal, Turkey to Mexico, and Morocco to Korea.
