Le cascate di Courmayeur is a geographic reportage that offers picturesque images of the waterfalls of the Italian Alps. The film stands out for its rich and evocative colorations.

 

The film restoration:

The preservation of the film is part of a project to valorize the collection of Italian silent films that are conserved at the Filmoteca de Catalunya in Barcelona; the project is promoted by Fondazione Cineteca di Bologna, Museo Nazionale del Cinema di Torino and Cineteca del Friuli (Gemona).

The preservation work of Le cascate di Courmayeur was based on a positive tinted and toned nitrate print (56 m. long) with Spanish intertitles from Pere Tresserra’s collection. The colors were reproduced using the Desmet method.

The process was carried out in 2007 at the L’Immagine Ritrovata laboratory in Bologna.
