I won't summarise the backstory or details of how the film came to me, that is very well covered by my friend Bill in his detailed notes which you can find if you click here
As you can appreciate this has been a long drawn out process which started about 1988 and really kicked off when my friend Mike Reed helped me with the digitising of some of my films in 2007. It was only at that time I learned that I could make a telecine on a sprocketless machine, so no damage would be done to the fragile filmstock.
I made that telecine to Digital Tape at Complete Post but it took me another ten years to really get going in the restoration when I discovered Topaz and other AI engines for the first time. You could say that the serious work on the restoration started then, so I've been mucking around with it for 8 years now. That period also includes consideration of many different strategies in using the footage. I finally resolved against any narration or fictional narrative overlay.

Hoping to see many of you in March at the Thornbury Picture House.
MANY THANKS TO YOU BILL FOR YOUR WONDERFUL SUPPORT!
Peter.
