About the Restoration

Just before the pandemic hit, Elif Rongen-Kaynakçi of Eye Filmmuseum alerted SFSFF that the Amsterdam-based archive had discovered a short reel of stencil-colored footage of San Francisco. The film had Dutch intertitles but a bit of detective work revealed that the three-minute segment was part of Pathé’s weekly magazine and had been released in American theaters on July 12, 1925. The collaboration to restore the film included laboratory partner Haghefilm Digitaal, which agreed to provide its services at no cost in celebration of SFSFF’s 25th anniversary. Now, nearly one hundred years after its original release, this uncovered gem returns to its hometown.
