Members I Am A Swede Posted October 14, 2016 Members Share Posted October 14, 2016 It's amazing that they can find these films after so long. It makes you wonder what other hidden treasures are out there just waiting to be re-discovered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 14, 2016 Author Members Share Posted October 14, 2016 And it looks like they were three shorts spliced together (I'm not sure if they were all Meleis), which is even better. http://screenanarchy.com/2016/10/czech-film-archive-discovered-melies-film-believed-to-be-lost.html I always figure everything has been found so any surprises always make me happy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 29, 2016 Author Members Share Posted November 29, 2016 An article on the BFI trying to preserve decaying material while they can. This is what annoys me about the soap material held at places like UCLA - is any of this being done? http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-38131911 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cassadine1991 Posted January 23, 2017 Members Share Posted January 23, 2017 It's insane knowing how many movies and shows have been lost forever either due to wiping/taping over and the nitrate film they used. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted April 13, 2018 Members Share Posted April 13, 2018 (edited) Orson Welles' long-lost The Other Side of the Wind - reconstructed and slated to be released by Netflix - has been pulled from the Cannes Film Festival along with several major new films due to Cannes' ongoing nasty feud with Netflix. Beatrice Welles, Welles' oft-litigious daughter who fought the Wind restoration team for years, sent a letter to Netflix pleading for them to reconsider. I support Netflix boycotting Cannes until it agrees to give their films award consideration - there are some excellent ones, including Dee Rees' Mudbound (an Oscar contender this past year) and Bong Joon-ho's Okja. But with The Other Side of the Wind I'd make an exception. It was Orson Welles' final work and I believe it deserves to be first screened at Cannes. I certainly will be making an effort to see it theatrically assuming it screens locally. Edited April 13, 2018 by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
