The Story Behind Your Radio Dial

Documentary about the discovery of a rare 35mm film print of the 1948 short film "Behind Your Radio Dial" which shows the NBC radio network at the height of network radio dominance, not unlike the world-wide web of today, centered at Rockefeller Center at the pivotal point of the birth of network television. Matias Bombal relates the story of the film studio that made it, the artists that crafted the 1948 short and a tour of NBC that places key moments of the film against a blueprint of the art moderne building at 30 Rockefeller Plaza, identifying many of the unsung pioneers of broadcast seen in the original film. The narrative concludes with a fantastic new 2K pin registered transfer from a mint 35mm original release print of the 1948 short, rich in detail not seen since it was new.
