Preservation and status

edit

As of January 2017, a complete copy of the film was archived at Lobster Films in Paris.[2] Lobster Films restores and distributes vintage film.[3] However, in 2020, a fire occurred at an apartment building in Paris where Lobster Film's had temporarily stored highly flammable nitrate film reels without air conditioning during a heatwave.[3] Up to 1,953 nitrate film reels were estimated as being stored at the location when the fire occurred,[4] but film titles were not reported.
