Trail To Yesterday Restoration Featured in Green Valley (Arizona) News

Arizona International Film Festival
I completed a 10-min scene from the silent era movie "The Trail To Yesterday", that I have been restoring over the past several years. Filmed in Arivaca, Arizona (1918), will be
shown this coming Tuesday April 25th, 8pm at the Screening Room, Tucson
as part of the 31st Arizona International Film Festival.
The
scene I will be exhibiting is "Act 3 - Revenge of Dakota" and is a
10-minute piece digitally restored and produced from a surviving Dutch
distributed version of a 35mm nitrate film print. The restored scene
will include the original music score and restored Inter-titles. The
piece will be presented as a ‘work-in-progress’ and proof-of-concept for
the restoration approaches I am employing towards the future completion
of this feature-length studio film from that era.
Hope you can make it out to see the film, or other films at the Arizona International Film Festival
