Every film deserves its time to shine, especially films lost to time! Thank you all for being a key part of the first major release of this film, and for your support of the digital preservation of independent genre cinema. Wait till you see what we unearthed next!

It's #LetterboxdFriday and for some reason the Felix the Cat short I watched isn't showing up on my last four! Either way, it was my first delve into @reviverarchival.bsky.social and I am hooked.

Shot on beautiful 35mm and lost until the discovery of its four-reel 35mm color reversal intermediate. What did you think of the cinematography of this lost short? (3/4)

We decided on the mystery aspect of Reviver, in the hopes that without context, those who supported the release of lost films would be able to make discoveries, just like archivists and film historians do on Vinegar Syndrome releases. Hope to see more of this type of research!
