This is tangential to the article but when ever I read about a lost film being found there’s always mention of how it was found in a vault. I can’t help but always try to imagine what that is. Can anyone describe what these vaults are like? Does film have a smell? People can reference a data center but most probably have never been in one. They all have a slightly dusty smell, there’s the whine of fans and HVAC, the odd people that work there, server cages, card and retina scanners, some have metal detectors. From the outside DC’s can be huge nondescript brick buildings with a massive gensets surrounded by a well built security fence. Regardless of the size they all have a similar vibe. So I’d be very curious to know what a film vault in Hollywood is like. If it has a similar ‘you know you’re in a film vault’ feel and culture to it.
