A century-old silent comedy originally made in New Hampshire has been discovered in an antique shop in Japan, according to a Guardian report. The find is drawing attention from film historians and silent cinema fans, as early US films from the era often survive only in fragments or not at all, and rediscoveries in unexpected places are rare and significant for film archives.
Why now: Rare rediscoveries of lost early cinema generate strong interest among film historians and archives.
