HFPA and Karlovy Vary collaborated on a restoration:

The film, screened Tuesday at the festival, was restored in collaboration with Martin Scorsese’s Film Foundation.

“The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has long been a supporter of film restoration with the goal of preserving the rich history of the world’s movie heritage,” said Meher Tatna, immediate past president of the HFPA. “We are proud to partner with KVIFF, a huge supporter of film restoration, to showcase this important film in all its restored glory.”

The restoration is part of the HFPA’s growing efforts to support film preservation. Last year, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced a contribution in partnership with Institut Lumière to help restore 300 short films by the Lumière Brothers.
