Saving Brinton

Michael Zahs is a collector, pure and simple. Keen on generating interest in his collection of silent films – known as the Brinton collection, saved from the incinerator – he travels around to show his films and talk about their origins. A silent Georges Méliès classic film, long believed lost, about a woman with three heads was found among the collection. Film restorer Serge Bromberg views the film with excitement, and ensures the discovery is revealed at the silent film festival Il Cinema Ritrovato in Bologna.
