From 1913 to 1967, Time Inc's newsreel series, "The March of Time®" chronicled the events of our lives. The March of Time® separated itself from its competitors using its trademark "pictorial journalism," mixing highly-produced, long-form, documentary-style stories with some dramatic re-enactments. These award-winning motion pictures recorded global events and brought them to big screens around the world.
In the 1951, rising production costs and the arrival of television led to the end of the theatrical newsreel releases. The March of Time® continued their legacy by producing dramatic documentaries as well as other programming for television. The last films produced were in 1967.
The March of Time® uniquely shaped the way America saw the world and how the world saw America. More than 70 million feet of 35mm films are currently being restored to their original luster.
The HBO Archival Collection also includes hundreds of hours of vintage government films and Universal Newsreel programs. |
