Dawson City: Frozen Time
- Synopsis
- Named as one of the best films of 2017 by more than 100 critics worldwide, this film tells the true story of a long-lost collection of over 500 nitrate film prints dating from the early 1900s found buried in the permafrost at a remote Yukon mining town.
Morrison’s documentary links that gold rush town to the dawn of cinema. Using unearthed newsreels, silent movies (in some cases, the only copies in existence of films by D.W. Griffith and Tod Browning, among others) and documentary images of the town, Morrison conjures the birth of the modern age and creates a unique kaleidoscope of cinema and history.
Extras include a brand new interview with filmmaker Bill Morrison and his short film THE LETTER Letter (2018). - Language
