Dawson City: Frozen Time

In Dawson City: Frozen Time, a compilation of archival footage, rare films of the silent era newsreels, interviews and photos of historical significance tells the strange yet true tale of a collection that amounts to more than 500 films of the 1910-1920 period, considered lost for a whole 50 years before they resurfaced after having been buried under a swimming pool, in the boondocks of the Yukon territory, in Canada. The most prolific archivist-filmmaker of our times crafts a unique and highly meticulous collage made of a fragile raw material, aiming to revive an equally delicate reality that moves over thin ice.
