Dawson City: Frozen Time

New York Film Festival Essentials • 2h 0m

Directed by Bill Morrison • Documentary • 2017 • US • English
Featuring Michael Gates, Kathy Jones-Gates

Part fever dream, part historical record, this is the bizarre true story of some 533 silent film reels, buried for almost 50 years in a sub-arctic swimming pool, deep in the Yukon permafrost. Filmmaker Bill Morrison deftly combines excerpts, including rare Hollywood features, with historical footage, photographs, and interviews, to explore the history of Dawson City, a Canadian Gold Rush town.
