Renewly synchronized films of 1913


Jerry Fabris (museum curator at the Edison National Historical Park) & George Willeman (Library of Congress) have teamed up to do some digital synchronization on a half dozen films made in 1913 using Edison Kinetophone technology.  


For the first time, the Edison cylinders (from the national park) have been digitized and now married to picture elements taken from the 35mm films housed at Library of Congress. 

Hear and see at the 10th Orphan Film Symposium!
