‘LOST FILMS, Recovered or Restored’

In thinking about what we wanted to do for our 23rd event it dawned on us that we talk a lot about what is lost—there is a pretty high percentage out there of silent films that are lost and gone forever.

All the films showing this year were lost then found, or simply needed restoration to bring them back to life.
