Early cinema was a revolution. People were astonished to see images move across a screen as this new phenomenon took the world by storm. But what does it take to create 35mm silent motion picture film from scratch?
In this webinar, Historic Process Specialist Nick Brandreth will demonstrate the process of creating 35mm motion picture film. Then, Anthony L'Abbate, preservation manager in the Moving Image Department, will discuss filmmaking during the silent era, why so many films from that time have disappeared, and the methods that we use today to preserve and restore these films—often from a sole surviving print.
