  • We the Living: Restoring a Film Classic

    Several decades ago Emmy Award winning filmmaker, Duncan Scott, worked with Ayn Rand on the restoration of the 1942 lost film classic, We the Living.  He is now preparing a newly restored and rejuvenated high-definition edition of the film. 

     

    Using state-of-the-art digital software technology, Scott repaired the entire film, frame by frame, removing scratches, dirt, and other flaws that are common in old movies. His goal is to bring this extraordinary Ayn Rand film to today's moviegoers looking as beautiful as it did when it premiered at the Venice Film Festival in 1942!
