At a time when heritage cinema is booming – thanks to outstanding progress in conservation standards and a growth in demand – Lyon’s Lumière heritage film festival Lumière is playing a leading role in uncovering long-forgotten cinematic gems.
“Dans la Nuit” is one of those films and we saw it as our duty to exhume it,” he said, speaking as director of the Institut Lumière, a Lyon-based organisation dedicated to the preservation of film heritage named after the Lumière Brothers, which owns the rights to the film. At the time, Vanel famously said: “I chose the wrong time to start filmmaking. The film I directed, ‘Dans la Nuit,’ was also one of the last silent films. The Parisian distributors and operators who produced it had absolutely no faith in talking pictures, saying, ‘Be Patient, this trend will not last.’ I was less optimistic than they were, and I was right.”
The film was originally re-released at the start of the 2000s with a score by jazz composer Luis Sclavis, “but we knew we needed to do a proper restoration from scratch using the negatives,” said Frémaux. Using the 35mm original held by the French Cinemathèque, the Institut Lumière oversaw the work at French film restoration specialist Groupe Éclair .
