	Ephemeral film -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Ephemeral film, as defined by film archivist (additional info and facts about Rick Prelinger) Rick Prelinger, is film made for a specific purpose other than as a work of art: the films were designed to serve a specific pragmatic purpose for a limited time.
		Prelinger estimates that the genre includes perhaps 400,000 films and, as such, is the largest genre of films, but that one-third to one-half of the films have been lost to neglect.
		Many ephemeral films are also grouped under the term "orphan films," since they lack copyright owners or active custodians to guarantee their longterm preservation.
