Launched in Cannes this year, Martin Scorsese's new Foundation seeks to restore lost classics of world cinema and return them to the public eye. Scorsese has selected EIFF - which celebrated his work with a retrospective back in 1975! - as the UK launchpad for this project, advisors to which include Souleymane Cissé, Stephen Frears, Walter Salles and Wong Kar-wai. Salles, the director of The Motorcycle Diaries (EIFF 2004), is spearheading the restoration of Limite, the only completed directorial project by Brazilian cult writer Mario Peixoto. A poetic study of memory and time set on board a drifting boat, Limite is one of the great classics of early Brazilian cinema.
