WASHINGTON -- The National Film Preservation Foundation on Wednesday selected the celebrated 1920 adaptation of Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" as the 1,000th film saved under the program. The classic film is one of the few complete features to survive from director William Desmond Taylor. It will be preserved by George Eastman House from a 35mm color-tinted nitrate print originally found in Denmark.
Since its founding by Congress through the National Film Preservation Foundation Act of 1996, the NFPF has provided preservation support to 152 institutions across the nation. NFPF programs target American films that are unlikely to survive without public support.
