Deleted Scenes from PBS's New York: A Documentary Film

Manhatta by Paul Strand and Charles Sheeler United States Premiere.

A day in the life of New York as viewed by noted American photographers Paul Strand and Charles Sheeler. This is a 2008 2K digital restoration of the original 1927 projection print discovered at the BFI in 1949. It is the only known copy of the film and as such is a unique artifact of early cinema history. The 2K digital restoration was performed by Lowry Digital (formerly DTS Digital Images) in Burbank, California under the supervision of film curator Bruce Posner for Anthology Film Archives, British Film Institute, The Library of Congress, The Museum of Modern Art, National Gallery of Art, and Nederlands Filmmuseum. Silent film specialist Donald Sosin composed the full orchestral music score that is performed by the Slovak Sinfonietta.
