Film Review: Dawson City: Frozen Time

Film, as this documentary reminds us, was born of an explosive substance. Because the materials used in producing early cinema’s nitrate film stock – which shared some of the same chemical properties of warheads used in the Spanish-American War – were prone to spontaneous combustion, as much as 75% of all silent movies are assumed to have been lost. This is the reason why the discovery of more than 500 discarded film reels on a Canadian demolition site in 1978 was such a staggering find. The cold climate of the Yukon town, Dawson City, helped preserve these early movies for decades after they were used as landfill and forgotten about. For film historians, the Dawson City discovery was truly buried treasure.

When memory speaks, you tend to recall the way the world still somehow managed to open up for you, how the information river flowed towards you despite the constraints of your world.” -from “Dear Hong Kong: An Elegy for a City” by Xu Xi (at 香港仔茶餐廳 - Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong)
