Re: Lost Films
I doubt it actually is a picture of London After Midnight's original camera negative, so what do you know

Re: Lost Films
Correction -- near complete "abridged" version. The write-ups on this discovery are (sadly) a bit misleading.

Re: Lost Films
Even this sounds juicy....
“I succeeded in stealing it but I can’t possibly give more details about how it was done,” Makhmalbaf told the Guardian ..... would love to hear this.

Joe Sarno's The Naked Fog (1966). A mouth-watering find.

Rupert Julian's Silence (1926) has been found at the Cinémathèque Française and part (23 minutes) of the Wallace Beery/Louise Brooks comedy Now We're in the Air was found in the Czech National Archive. Both restorations will world premiere at the San Francisco Silent Film Festival.

Re: Lost Films
Two years old, but still interesting. The finder posted on Nitrateville.

Re: Lost Films
Would you consider films that are not readily available to the viewing public as "lost films" even if you know they are still somewhere and intact? I've been wanting to watch Uma (1941) for about 3-4 months now and I can't seem to track down a copy online or in VHS form

Re: Lost Films
There's a film that I've been hoping would turn up sometime, somewhere.
But so far no such luck.
The film is Alpha Beta. It's a British film from 1976 and stars Albert
Finney and Rachel Roberts. It's based on a play by E.A. Whitehead and
directed by Anthony Page. As far as I can tell it had a theatrical release in
Britain and the US (although in some books it is erroneously referred to
as a television production).
I could easily see this as a BFI flipside release or something along those
lines. Anyone have some info on this?

Re: Lost Films
According to BBC Genome, it appears to have been transmitted twice on BBC2 in 1974 - assuming it is indeed the same production (cast and director match up), whether made for cinemas or TV.

Albert Finney's own company Memorial Enterprises. I don't see any indication
that the BBC was involved in the production per se. So it might have been
originally planned to premiere on television, followed by a theatrical release.
