Restoring Harry Smith's Mahagonny
Loading...
Uploaded by moonplague on Oct 1, 2010
Harry Smith is probably best remembered for his Folkways' "Anthology of American Folk Music" which contributed to the folksong revival of the late 1950s and 60s. Harry Smith was also a prolific collector, artist, and avant-garde filmmaker. His work "Mahagonny" is a 221-minute, split screen art film that was set to the sound track of the 1930s opera "Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny" by Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht. Smith's film "event" required four projectors and two projectionists who followed Smith's notes on how to time the projection of the images to the music. Smith died in 1991. This film documents the research that guided the restoration of the film onto a 35mm single strand film. The film highlights the detective work that is often a part of film restoration.

Thank you for posting this online. "Mahagonny" is a masterwork and opportunities are rare to see even bits of it. Harry Smith deserves to be remembered as much for this riveting portrait of 1970s America as he does for his "Anthology of American Folk Music."
