I do like to look for the lesser known jewels, too. They're harder to get access too, so I'm glad you're article prompted me to discover this on Youtube!<br /><br />I originally came to read your blog for the classical music reviews (Proms probably, I tune in via radio from Texas), but I'm delighted you write about my first love, cinema, too. So, thanks for all you write! It is really significant.Chris Kaiserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03121225617126036885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-416983732847060845.post-10253217483400299922016-05-12T09:18:36.777+01:002016-05-12T09:18:36.777+01:00Thank you so much, Chris !

There were lots of Scandinavian and Finnish movies from as early as around 1910 and very distinctive. Some directors real masters like Sjostrom and Dreyer. Usually I write about early German and Chinese film, which no one else does in English. So please, welcome back and have fun browsing this site<br /><br />Doundou Tchilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07469682216179706743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-416983732847060845.post-59606278922177652102016-05-11T20:01:00.626+01:002016-05-11T20:01:00.626+01:00Tinting was most commonly done by submerging film ...Tinting was most commonly done by submerging film in a dye mixture. It fades heavily with time so what you describe sounds like the remnants of that, and well-preserved. When a print is restored, they do it from the negatives if possible, which would be B&W, and then for DVDs they might approximate the original tinting with a digital enhancement (using faded reference prints if available). So the version of Troll-Elgen that's on YouTube at the moment has a digital tint added to it.<br /><br />Great post! Don't think I've seen any Norwegian silent films, and intend on checking this one out. Chris Kaiserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03121225617126036885noreply@blogger.com
