This short film is an illustration of Niver's preservation process of paper print films. Renovare—from the Latin "to renew"—was an apt name for Niver's company, for the Academy Award-winning work that he and his colleagues accomplished has been vital to our collective understanding of cinema's evolution since its origins. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2011.
