Yep, as it usually happens the thrill to find it ends up being a lot more exciting than what you get by watching the actual film haha.

Sandra Harmon also died in 2016, finding recordings from the '70s or early '80s is very hard, but a 16mm print exists apparently, would depend on whoever holds the rights for it if they would be willing to work on a release. bsky.app/profile/mike...
The Library of Congress has a 16mm copyright print!

Nope, French only, but they are all OCRed so you can just copy&paste a section you find interesting in any translation tool online and you should get a farily accurate translation.

Bom dia, começamos o ano com a coleção completa de absolutamente todas as edições da Cahiers du Cinéma. Foi um trabalho árduo de meses que não teria conseguido sem a ajuda de dois conhecidos, a quem agradeço imensamente.

Ah you're right, I thought the torrent was automatically added by IA but doesn't seem to be available for this collection, I guess uploader has to make it available, my bad.

You can also find this collection in remux form on the internet archive, thanks to OP. Downloading from IA individually can be a pain as dl speeds there aren't great so I recommend downloading the torrent instead that's much faster.

Here's the list of all the shorts that are included, thanks a lot to Zaireeka @ KG for the DVDr upload. I remuxed each film individually (no re-encoding), took a couple hours but it was worth it to preserve them in highest quality. Some films also include audio commentaries.

Mm yeah I think it never happened and I forgot what was on Drive #1 so I'll have to reupload everything again, but if you're looking for something in particular I can look into it.

If there's something that I posted on my previous account that you didn't get to download for whatever reason just let me know (comment here or send me a DM) and I'll add it on the next batch of reuploads. Thanks! :)
