Pretty cool my friend Rob Byrne is doing the restoration. An even more important discovery restoration in my view involves my really good friend Joe Yranski a LIBRARIAN ( retired from NYPL's Donnell Media Center) Joe discovered TWO thought to be lost Colleen Moore features ( WHY BE GOOD and SYNTHETIC SIN) and worked with Vitaphone Project and Warner Bros to get them restored. They are showing in major fests around the world this fall and will be at Film Forum in New York in Nov. WHY BE GOOD will also have shows around the US.
While Joe did not discover these a part of his library work I am sure there are some amazing things hidden away in libraries. Probably not silent films on nitrate but probably a indie films, documentaries and other media not released by studios. Please make sure to check your 16mm material in particular. You never know what you will find.. Jessica On Wed, Oct 1, 2014 at 6:20 PM, Sarah E.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
