Where Are
My Children
(1916) |
The reconstruction of Where Are My Children was conducted by the Library of Congress in 2000 utilizing the surviving three reels of an incomplete 35mm print held by the library, a reedited 35mm Dutch-language version held by collector Jan Zaalberg in the Netherlands, and the equivalent of approximately 1.5 reels surviving in a 16mm reduction print. Sequencing the surviving footage and recreation of the original color-toning were made possible by consulting 1916 postproduction paperwork held by historian Kevin Brownlow.
