Reclaiming American History from Paper Rolls by the Renovare Process
This short film is an illustration of Niver's preservation process of paper print films. Renovare—from the Latin "to renew"—was an apt name for Niver's company, for the Academy Award-winning work that he and his colleagues accomplished has been vital to our collective understanding of cinema's evolution since its origins. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2011.
