VISAGES D'ENFANTS,

JACQUES FEYDER
     115 m.
Synopsis
Using two nitrate prints - their own and one from the Cinématèque Française - and three black and white acetate reels from Gosfilmofond in Moscow, the Nederlands Filmmuseum co-ordinated a new restoration in colour in 1993, in collaboration with the Cinématèque Française and the Brussels Cinématèque Royale. Although the new NFM restoration approaches the complete print very closely, - only a few minutes are still missing (at 2,500 metres, it now runs approximately 109 minutes at 20 frames per second) - it was impossible to reconstruct the definitive original version, owing to the fact that the two nitrate prints were discovered to be from different negatives.
