Stacie Seifrit-Griffin writes: “Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden announced the annual selection of 25 films to the Library of Congress National Film Registry. Films are selected based on their cultural, historic and/or aesthetic importance, and must be at least 10 years old. This year’s selections bring the number of films in the registry to 875.” This year’s selections cover nearly a century, from 1921’s educational silent film A Movie Trip through Filmland to 2013 Oscar-winners 12 Years a Slave and 20 Feet from Stardom.
