A thrilIing adventure through American
history, Dawson City: Frozen Time pieces
together the bizarre true story of a coIlection
of some 500 siIent fiIms. Dating from the
1910s and 20s, they were lost for over 50
years until being discovered buried in a subarctic
swimming pooI deep in the Yukon
Territory in 1978.
Director BiII Morrison (Decasia) uses this
extraordinary footage as a conduit to explore
the compIicated past of Dawson City, a
Canadian gold rush town and First Nation
hunting camp that was transformed and
dispIaced. Dawson City: Frozen Time is a
triumphant work of art that chronicIes the
Iife cycIe of a singuIar fiIm collection through
its exiIe, buriaI, rediscovery, and salvation,
discovering another world in the process. |
