Re: Recent Film Restorations
Maybe the title for this thread should add ... "and Devastations".

At least the Love Affair trailer looks pretty good, though the contrast feels a touch muted.

Thanks for linking this! Does anyone know if the CNC fully or partially pays for restorations?Calvin wrote: ↑Tue Dec 29, 2020 10:36 amThe CNC's latest go around has financed restorations of Renoir's The Elusive Corporal, Gance's Story of a Poor Young Man, Fejos' Gardez le sourire, and a trio of Jean-Pierre Mocky films amongst others.

Re: Recent Film Restorations
Surprised to see Can Dialectics Break Bricks? in there, since a restoration premiered at Rotterdam this year and has been making the rounds at other festivals. (Rotterdam also screened an "animated version" that was apparently just the film with a watercolor filter slapped over it.) Reimbursement of money already spent, perhaps?
