Lost and Found: An Inventory of Films from the New Zealand Film Archive
The National Film Preservation Foundation website has published a list of rediscovered Silents and Talkies from the New Zealand Film Archive. http://www.filmpreservation.org/preserved-films/new-zealand-project-films-highlights
In addition to features and shorts, the inventory includes newsreels, industrials and cartoons. The sheer variety of films--including documentary footage of China circa 1917, a 1914 interracial romance, a 1916 Lois Weber feature and Mabel Normand's 1914 directorial debut--no doubt will shed new light on film's first two decades.
I was impressed by the two I've seen: "The Better Man," and "Upstream," both of which were well-conceived and technically sophisticated. If they are indicative of the collection's quality, we can expect to be amazed.
