Tom Lake is a meditation on youthful love, married love, and the lives parents have led before their children were born.

On 4 November 2021, Martin Koerber, Curator at the Deutsche Kinemathek, Berlin, and also responsible for the film archive, gave the laudation speech in the Kino Arsenal when I received the Cinematheque Association‘s honorary prize. The original text was read in German. Today, Prof. Jan-Christopher Horak receives the Honorary Prize of the Cinematheque Association for Service to Film Culture and Patrimony 2021. Since the 1970s, as anyone who has concerned themself with film archiving and film history knows, Chris Horak has been on the road as a film historical researcher, but also as an archive director, curator, and as the founder of diverse activities in our field. Only a few of his many accomplishments can be addressed in this short appreciation – a laudatio from the Latin- mentioning merely a few highlights, for example, the innumerable articles – according to Wikipedia over 300 – which Chris has published in the last forty-five years; these will hopefully be collected one of these days in an anthology or be available for reading on his blog, Archival Spaces. I want to warmly recommend, you subscribe to this blog, in which he speaks of his experiences, his contacts with other film preservationists and filmmakers, occasionally mentioning biographical details, which reveal much that is private, so the reader understands why certain topics interest him. Blogs are a publication modus to pursue so-called minor matters that unlock much more about the writer at times than serious missives and their accompanying footnotes. You will see, how useful it was for me that Chris is a blogger. The honorary prize which has been previously awarded only three times, applies not so much to a role or roles someone has filled than to the personality repeat Recognizing Excellence in Independent Publishing Congratulations and sincere thanks to over 2,750 independent authors and publishers who participated in our 19th annual, 2015 Independent Publisher Book Awards contest.
