Named as one of the best films of 2017 by more than 100 critics worldwide, Dawson City: Frozen Time pieces together the bizarre true history of a long-lost collection of over 500 nitrate film prints dating from the early 1900s. Discovered buried deep in the permafrost beneath Dawson City, a former Klondike gold rush town, the story they reveal and Morrison's haunting found-footage documentary links that gold rush town to the dawn of cinema and the rise of the modern age.Bill Morrison's incredible film conjures the birth of the modern age through these unearthed newsreels, old silent movies (in some cases, the only copies in existence of films by D.W. Griffith and Tod Browning, among others) and documentary images of the town to create a unique kaleidoscope of cinema and history.SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTS:Dawson City Frozen Time presented from a new 4K masterNew and exclusive interview with filmmaker Bill MorrisonDawson City: PostscriptShort film The LetterSelections from the Dawson Film Find:British Canadian Pathé News 1919 (includes 1919 World Series),International News Vol. 1, Issue 52, 1919The Montreal Herald Screen Magazine 1919Pathé's Weekly #17, 1914The Butler and the Maid, Thomas A.
