"On whether the film industry is at a crisis point:
I'm always a little more on the negative side of things, but there has been a crisis for many years now. And whatever we get to do, with your help, and the help of the people who own the rights to these films, is just maybe scratching the surface, ultimately. A lot will be lost. One has to think of history in the past 3,000 years, how much literature was lost. So whatever we can do now, we're going to save something". -Martin Scorsese Press Conference.
