Die Biene Maja und ihre Abenteuer
director: Wolfram Junghans
year: 1925 country: Germany This film is considered found |
Bundesarchiv-Filmarchiv listed this film as lost on their website as recently as 2007. Yet confusingly elsewhere the Bundesarchiv-Filmarchiv's website notes that they had themselves restored the film in 2003. The restored version was screened as part of the 'Out of Frame' programme during the 25th Pordenone Silent Film Festival in Sacile, Italy, in October 2006. According to the entry in the festival's catalogue, the restoration was based on a tinted nitrate print with combined Finnish-Swedish intertitles, which had survived in the collection of the former Suomen elokuva-arkisto (Finnish Film Archive, now Kansallinen audiovisuaalinen arkisto or the National Audiovisual Archive of Finland). The original German inter-titles were reconstructed using the surviving censorship cards.
