Over the course of any year, there are dozens of new, painstakingly restored films we’re not able to fit into our regular schedule. Our Restoration Roundup series is an attempt to correct some of those glaring omissions as we collect a small fraction of the great work being done by archivists and film preservationists around the world to present older films the way they were originally meant to be seen. This year’s selection features a pair of pre-code gems, Hollywood classics that look better than ever, a number of films from Hong Kong auteurs, an animated sci-fi masterpiece, a holy grail of surrealist cinema, and the sophomore feature from one of indie cinema’s finest.

This series made possible with generous support from Mimi and Scott Manzler.
