Old grainy movies get new life

EUGENE, Ore. - Some newer technology is breathing life into an almost obsolete art form.  Folks carted box loads of old film strips to the University of Oregon Saturday. 

Amateur enthusiasts watched as experts and archivists from the University showcased the best ways to preserve and protect films.  Then visitors got a chance to re-live their old reel on the big screen.  "We're trying to remember everything that we have on these 30 year old films.  I'm sure we'll watch it and say do you remember that? What about that? So this is going to be a chance to relive real memories," says Perry Patterson who brought in a box of old films with a friend.
