Jabarkan Sejarah dari Film yatim

Asal muasal istilah film yatim masih belum jelas. Namun pada 1990an, para pengarsip film umumnya memakai kolokuialisme tersebut untuk merujuk kepada film-film yang ditinggal oleh para pemiliknya. Sebelum akhir dekade tersebut, frase tersebut dianggap sebagai kiasan bagi penyajian film, mula-mula di Amerika Serikat, kemudian dunia.
